What to know locally in Johannesburg
Rewinders and pump workshops in Denver, Jeppestown and City Deep repair everything from pool motors to large three phase sets, and most offer collection. Highveld lightning takes out control boxes every summer, so ask for surge protection when a borehole is installed. Drillers based on the West Rand and in Midrand work across the city; the municipality wants boreholes registered, so ask whether the driller helps with the paperwork or leaves it to you.
Who pumps what in Johannesburg
Johannesburg gets its water from the Vaal system through a long chain of pipes, pump stations and reservoirs, and when one link fails the taps in whole suburbs run dry. Many areas, from Melville and Linden on the ridges to parts of Soweto and the south, have had water cuts and low pressure that last days, so water tanks with booster pumps are now common on houses and flats. Boreholes are popular in the leafy north, but the city asks owners to register them, so check before you drill. Under the south and the CBD lie old gold workings, and pump repair and rewinding workshops cluster in Denver, City Deep, Industria and Jeppestown.

- Homeowners: a box with dry run and surge protection for a garden borehole pump
