Drainage, sewage & dewatering in Bloemfontein: local notes
Summer thunderstorms bring sudden storm water to low lying parts of Heidedal, Mangaung and the CBD, and drainage pumps get hired for flooded yards and basements. Estates on the edge of the city may have their own sewage pump stations with duty and standby pumps that need regular servicing. Pool pumps and koi pond pumps are common in the suburbs and keep repair shops busy.
Who pumps what in Bloemfontein
Bloemfontein's water has to come a long way, much of it from dams and transfer schemes to the east, and many suburbs have had water cuts and low pressure. Homeowners in Langenhoven Park, Brandwag and Fichardt Park have responded with garden boreholes, tanks and boosters. West of the city, the smallholdings of Bainsvlei rely almost entirely on boreholes. Out on the Free State farms, windmills that pumped stock water for generations are being replaced by solar pumps, and maize and sunflower farmers use boreholes for houses and livestock. Ground is often shale and sandstone cut by dolerite dykes, and drillers here look for those dykes to find water. Pump shops, drillers and rewinders work from the industrial areas around Hamilton and Hilton.
Typical pond and fountain pumps requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: a garden pond, birdbath or small fountain with a quiet submersible pump
- Smallholdings and plots: a farm dam fountain or a duck pond kept moving with a solar pump
- Farms: a homestead garden feature or small dam aerated with a fountain pump
