Northern Cape notes on drainage, sewage & dewatering
Iron ore and manganese mines around Kathu, Sishen, Postmasburg and Hotazel pump groundwater out of deep pits and run slurry through plants, so heavy <a href="/dewatering-pumps/">dewatering pumps</a> and wear parts are a big market. Towns rely on sewage pump stations where the ground is flat. Rare thunderstorms can flood dry riverbeds and low streets in Kimberley and Upington quickly, so drainage pumps get used.
Northern Cape: the properties, the water and the pump shops
This is the driest and emptiest province, and on most of its farms the only water is underground. Sheep and cattle farms across the Karoo and the Kalahari have long relied on windmills, and many are now changing to solar pumps that fill reservoirs by day. Some towns, De Aar among them, depend heavily on boreholes. Along the Orange River at Upington, Kakamas and Keimoes, vineyards for table grapes and raisins pump straight from the river and canals. Around Kathu, Postmasburg and Hotazel, iron ore and manganese mines dewater pits and move slurry, and Kimberley still carries its diamond heritage. Groundwater in places is brackish or high in salts, and distances between workshops are vast.
Who asks for sewage pumps around Northern Cape, most often first:
- 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
- Mines and quarries: change houses and offices at remote shafts pumped to a treatment works
