What to know locally in Bloemfontein
Summer thunderstorms bring sudden storm water to low lying parts of Heidedal, Mangaung and the CBD, and drainage pumps get hired for flooded yards and basements. Estates on the edge of the city may have their own sewage pump stations with duty and standby pumps that need regular servicing. Pool pumps and koi pond pumps are common in the suburbs and keep repair shops busy.
Who pumps what in Bloemfontein
Bloemfontein's water has to come a long way, much of it from dams and transfer schemes to the east, and many suburbs have had water cuts and low pressure. Homeowners in Langenhoven Park, Brandwag and Fichardt Park have responded with garden boreholes, tanks and boosters. West of the city, the smallholdings of Bainsvlei rely almost entirely on boreholes. Out on the Free State farms, windmills that pumped stock water for generations are being replaced by solar pumps, and maize and sunflower farmers use boreholes for houses and livestock. Ground is often shale and sandstone cut by dolerite dykes, and drillers here look for those dykes to find water. Pump shops, drillers and rewinders work from the industrial areas around Hamilton and Hilton.
Typical sewage pumps requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: a basement bathroom or granny flat below the street sewer pumped up to the connection
- Farms: staff housing and ablutions far from the main line served by a single sewage pump
- Municipalities, schools and clinics: small lift points in low streets feeding waste into the gravity network
Local tips for Bloemfontein
Pump suppliers serving Bloemfontein mostly work from here: pump shops, drillers and rewinders in Hamilton, Hilton and the city's industrial areas. The jobs that come up most: garden boreholes, Bainsvlei plot pumps, windmill to solar conversions on farms. When you ask for quotes, ask whether the solar quote covers the controller, panels, frame and cable.
Sizes vary: single phase homes, three phase for buildings. Here, homeowners lead the requests, typically for a basement bathroom or granny flat below the street sewer pumped up to the connection. One local point to raise: installers cover Bainsvlei, Botshabelo and farms; long farm trips are charged extra.
