Polokwane notes on installation, repairs & parts
Drillers based in Polokwane cover a big area, so booking a rig can take time when many people want water at once. Ask what the drilling quote includes: casing, the yield test and a dry hole policy. Rewinders and pump repairers in town handle booster, pool and borehole pumps. Theft of cable from boreholes in rural areas is common, so lockable caps and covers help.
Polokwane: the properties, the water and the pump shops
Polokwane is a dry city with a growing population, and water shortages have pushed many households to find their own supply. Suburbs like Bendor and Flora Park have plenty of garden boreholes and tanks, while villages around Moletjie, Ga-Mothapo and Mankweng often depend on community boreholes or private ones. The city's water comes partly from distant dams and partly from groundwater, and both come under strain in a dry year. Farms on the plateau grow potatoes, vegetables and game, irrigating from boreholes where yields allow. Ground is mostly granite and gneiss, often hard to drill and uneven in yield. Pump shops, drillers and rewinders sit in the industrial areas near the N1, and many serve villages across the region.
Who asks for pump hire around Polokwane, most often first:
- Homeowners: a drainage pump hired for a weekend to empty a flooded garage or a pool
- Offices, shops, hotels and lodges: an office basement pumped out while the sump pump is being repaired
