Mthatha notes on drainage, sewage & dewatering
In Mthatha town, heavy summer storms flood low streets and some properties near the river, and drainage pumps are hired to clear yards. Hospitals, schools, lodges and government buildings that sit away from the sewer sometimes run sewage pump stations that need regular servicing and backup power. Small businesses with basements or loading bays below street level keep a sump pump on a float.
Mthatha: the properties, the water and the pump shops
Around Mthatha, the water question is often about villages, not suburbs. The town takes water from the Mthatha Dam and river, but many areas have had long interruptions, and in the rolling country towards Libode, Mqanduli, Tsolo and Ngcobo, many homesteads, schools and clinics depend on boreholes, springs, rainwater tanks and water trucked in. Community boreholes with solar pumps and storage tanks are a common project, and many need repairs after pumps, cable or panels fail or are stolen. Summer brings heavy thunderstorms and lightning across the hills. In town, businesses and homes keep tanks and booster pumps. Pump shops and repairers sit in Mthatha's industrial area and along the N2, and installers drive long distances on gravel roads to rural sites.
Typical sewage pump stations requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: a small shared station for a few houses on a low street below the sewer
- Municipalities, schools and clinics: lift stations in low lying suburbs feeding the gravity sewer network
- Smallholdings and plots: a guest cottage cluster pumped to a septic system or a municipal line
