Gqeberha: the properties, the water and the pump shops
Nelson Mandela Bay learnt about water the hard way. A long drought left the supply dams very low for several years, restrictions were tight, and thousands of homes and businesses drilled boreholes or installed tanks. That is still the base of most pump work here: borehole pumps for gardens in Walmer, Lorraine and Newton Park, booster pumps on tanks across the northern areas, and pressure sets for factories. Groundwater quality varies, and some holes give salty or iron rich water, so test before you drink it. Leaks and burst pipes add their own outages. The harbour, the motor industry in Struandale and Markman, and the Coega zone keep industrial and dewatering pumps busy, and the wind and salt air wear out surface equipment.
Typical pump cable and pipe requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: new cable, pipe and rope for a garden borehole pump going back down
- Offices, shops, hotels and lodges: pipe from a lodge borehole to tanks on a stand, buried in a trench
- Complexes, estates and body corporates: replacement drop pipe and cable for a communal borehole after a split
