What to know locally in Ladysmith
Farms around Elandslaagte, Roosboom and Van Reenen water cattle and homesteads from boreholes, and many run solar pumps now that power at remote points is costly. Ask how the hole performs late in a dry winter, because levels drop. In Ezakheni and Steadville, households and small businesses add a tank and a booster pump for interruptions. Vegetable growers along the river use surface pumps for irrigation.
Water and ground in Ladysmith
Floods are part of Ladysmith's history. The Klip River runs straight through the town and has broken its banks many times, which is why dams upstream were built partly for flood control, and why shops and homes in the low lying centre still keep drainage pumps ready. Outside town the land opens into cattle and mixed farms that rely on boreholes, from Elandslaagte to the foot of Van Reenen's Pass, and summer thunderstorms with lightning roll in over the Drakensberg. Many residents in Ezakheni and Steadville have dealt with water interruptions and use tanks. The Ezakheni industrial area adds factory pumps, sumps and process water. Pump shops and rewinders sit near the town centre and along the N11, with drillers serving the farms.
Typical pressure tanks requests in the area come from:
- Farms: large vessels on borehole and irrigation systems to reduce starts
- Smallholdings and plots: a larger tank on the borehole system for steady pressure to the house
- Offices, shops, hotels and lodges: pressure vessels on building pressure sets and backup water
