Drainage, sewage & dewatering in Eastern Cape: local notes
Factories in Kariega, Coega and East London's industrial areas run sumps and drainage pumps, and construction in sandy ground near Jeffreys Bay, Port Alfred and the Gqeberha beachfront often needs <a href="/dewatering-pumps/">dewatering pumps</a>. Coastal estates and resorts use sewage pump stations. When heavy rain does come, flooding in East London and low lying parts of Nelson Mandela Bay sends people looking for drainage pumps.
Eastern Cape: the properties, the water and the pump shops
Few provinces have felt water stress as sharply. The long drought that drained the dams supplying Nelson Mandela Bay pushed thousands of Gqeberha households to drill boreholes and fit tanks, and Makhanda is known for long water outages. In the Karoo around Graaff-Reinet, Cradock and Somerset East, sheep farms depend on boreholes and windmills, now often changed to solar. The Sundays River Valley around Kirkwood grows citrus on canal and borehole water. Kariega, the Coega zone and East London have car plants and factories that use process and drainage pumps. On the coast, sandy ground near Jeffreys Bay and Port Alfred calls for wellpoints, and the old Transkei relies on springs and boreholes.
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
- Smallholdings and plots: a cottage or farm house waste lifted to a septic system on higher ground
