Drainage, sewage & dewatering in Stellenbosch: local notes
During harvest, wineries pump large volumes of wash water and effluent, so pumps with open or vortex impellers and good screens matter. Estates and guest farms on the edges of Stellenbosch and Somerset West often depend on sewage pump stations with duty and standby pumps. Winter rain floods low streets near the Eerste River, and drainage pumps are hired to clear cellars and basements.
Stellenbosch: the properties, the water and the pump shops
Stellenbosch is ringed by wine farms, and most of its pump work follows the grapes. Farms in the Jonkershoek, Banhoek, Devon Valley and Helderberg areas pump from farm dams and the Eerste River system into drip irrigation through the dry summer, with boreholes for top up. Harvest brings a flood of winery wash water and effluent to pump. In town, the university, Technopark and the newer housing estates add booster pumps, pressure sets and sewage pump stations, while older homes in Idas Valley and Mostertsdrift have garden boreholes drilled during the drought. Winter storms swell the Eerste River and streams off the mountains. Pump shops and irrigation suppliers sit in the industrial area at Plankenbrug, with more in Somerset West.
Typical sewage pump stations requests in the area come from:
- Farms: staff housing and a farm stall pumped to treatment with a small package station
- Homeowners: a small shared station for a few houses on a low street below the sewer
- Factories, plants and depots: factory ablutions and canteens pumped to the sewer from a package station
