KwaZulu-Natal notes on borehole & water supply
Where eThekwini supply is unreliable, households in areas like Verulam, Phoenix and the upper highway fit a tank with a <a href="/jojo-tank-pumps/">tank pump</a> or booster. Midlands farms around Howick, Mooi River and Greytown use three phase irrigation pumps from rivers and dams, and cane growers inland of the coast pump for irrigation in dry spells. Boreholes in the interior are common on farms and smallholdings.
Who pumps what in KwaZulu-Natal
KwaZulu-Natal has more rain than most of the country, and its pumping problems are often about too much water rather than too little. The floods of April 2022 left basements, yards and pump stations in and around Durban under water, and summer downpours still fill sumps fast. Along the coast, sandy ground around Durban, Richards Bay and the North and South Coast means construction sites rely on wellpoints and dewatering pumps, and many coastal estates run sewage pump stations. Inland, sugar cane, Midlands dairy and timber farms pump from rivers, dams and boreholes, and Newcastle has heavy industry. Yet water cuts in parts of eThekwini have also driven homes towards tanks and boosters.
Typical pressure tanks requests in the area come from:
- Complexes, estates and body corporates: vessels on communal pressure sets and garden systems
- Contractors and drillers: plumbers replacing waterlogged tanks and setting pre-charge
- Homeowners: a small tank on the booster so the pump stops starting for every tap
