Kimberley notes on borehole & water supply
After long outages, many Kimberley households added a plastic tank with a booster pump, often with an inverter so it runs through load-shedding. Garden boreholes are common where the ground allows, though depth and yield vary. On farms, solar borehole pumps fill reservoirs for sheep, cattle and game, and some owners keep the windmill as a backup. Pivot and canal irrigation along the Riet and Vaal rivers needs larger three phase pumps.
Kimberley: the properties, the water and the pump shops
Kimberley's water arrives by pipeline from the Vaal River, and when a pipe bursts or a pump station fails, whole suburbs can go without water for days. That has made tanks, boosters and boreholes a normal sight in Hadison Park, Beaconsfield and the newer suburbs. Outside the city, the dry Northern Cape takes over: sheep, cattle and game farms water stock from boreholes, and solar pumps are replacing windmills on many of them. Irrigation farms along the Riet River near Ritchie and the Vaal toward Barkly West grow crops under pivots and canals. Ground is mostly dolerite and shale, which makes borehole siting more skill than luck. Diamond diggings on the river need small dewatering and slurry pumps.
Who asks for tank pumps around Kimberley, most often first:
- Homeowners: a booster and changeover so the house keeps water through cuts and load-shedding
- Smallholdings and plots: a pump feeding the house from a tank filled by the borehole
- Municipalities, schools and clinics: tank pumps for clinics, libraries and community halls
