Drainage, sewage & dewatering in East London: local notes
Factories in the West Bank and the industrial development zone run sumps and effluent pumps, and the port keeps sump and dewatering pumps for maintenance. Heavy rain floods low parts of Mdantsane and the river valleys, and drainage pumps are hired after storms. Holiday homes and complexes along the coast from Gonubie to the Kei often rely on small sewage pump stations where the sewer is far away.
East London: the properties, the water and the pump shops
East London sits where the Buffalo and Nahoon rivers meet the sea, with a river port and an industrial strip at its heart. Buffalo City supply has its weak spots, and many suburbs, from Beacon Bay and Gonubie to Mdantsane, have had outages from pipe bursts and pump station failures, so tanks with booster pumps are common. Coastal properties sometimes draw shallow groundwater for gardens, but quality varies. The vehicle and component factories in the West Bank and the industrial development zone need process, cooling and fire pumps, and the port needs dewatering and sump pumps. Inland towards Qonce and Bhisho, farms and smallholdings run boreholes and dam pumps. Pump shops and rewinders work from Wilsonia and the West Bank.
The requests we see from East London usually come from:
- Homeowners: a garden pond, birdbath or small fountain with a quiet submersible pump
- Farms: a homestead garden feature or small dam aerated with a fountain pump
- Factories, plants and depots: cooling and settling ponds aerated with floating fountain pumps
