Klerksdorp notes on drainage, sewage & dewatering
Mine dewatering in the goldfield is serious work: high head multistage pumps underground and slurry pumps on tailings and settling ponds. Contractors reclaiming old tailings need slurry pumps and wear parts. In Jouberton, Alabama and Kanana, summer storms overwhelm storm water channels and bring calls for drainage pumps, and pool owners in the suburbs keep pool pump repairers busy from October onward.
Klerksdorp: the properties, the water and the pump shops
Gold built Klerksdorp, Stilfontein and Orkney, and the mines left behind a big pumping problem. Underground workings fill with water once pumping stops, so shafts in the goldfield still need large high head pumps to keep water from rising into neighbouring mines, and tailings dams need slurry and return water pumps. The town also serves a wide grain district: maize and sunflower farms toward Hartbeesfontein and Ottosdal pump from boreholes for houses and livestock, and solar pumps are replacing windmills. Houses in Flamwood and the older suburbs add boreholes and tanks where supply is unreliable. The Vaal River to the south feeds irrigation farms. Water near mining ground can carry sulphate or metals, so test it before use.
The requests we see from Klerksdorp usually come from:
- Mines and quarries: change houses and offices at remote shafts pumped to a treatment works
- Farms: staff housing and ablutions far from the main line served by a single sewage pump
- Homeowners: a basement bathroom or granny flat below the street sewer pumped up to the connection
