What to know locally in Pinetown
Retaining walls and basements cut into the slopes of Westville and Kloof collect ground water, and a sump pump with a float switch keeps them dry. Factories in Westmead and New Germany pump wash water and effluent to sumps and need pumps rated for solids. After heavy rain, drainage pumps clear flooded yards and loading bays in KwaDabeka and Clermont, and some townhouse complexes below the sewer line run small sewage pump stations.
Water and ground in Pinetown
Steep hills shape the pumping work around Pinetown. Water runs off the slopes of Kloof, Westville and Queensburgh hard and fast in a summer storm, so retaining walls, garages and basements built into the hillside often need a sump with a float switch. In the April 2022 floods, homes and factories in the outer west took heavy damage, and many owners have since added drainage pumps and better storm water channels. New Germany and Westmead are dense with factories that run process water pumps, cooling water circuits and fire pump sets, and the motor rewinders and pump repairers based there serve much of the outer west. Uphill homes sometimes struggle with low municipal pressure, which brings in booster pumps and tanks.
Typical pond and fountain pumps requests in the area come from:
- Factories, plants and depots: cooling and settling ponds aerated with floating fountain pumps
