Ladysmith: the properties, the water and the pump shops
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.
Who asks for pump control boxes around Ladysmith, most often first:
- Farms: three phase panels with phase failure protection on irrigation boreholes
- Factories, plants and depots: pump panels with overloads and alarms for process water
- Smallholdings and plots: a float switch and control box so the pump fills the tank on its own
