What to know locally in Worcester
Wine cellars and table grape packhouses run wash water and effluent pumps through the season, and some farms pump drainage water from low fields. When the Breede and the Hex rivers flood in a wet winter, pump houses on the banks can be damaged, and drainage and diesel pumps are hired to clear lands and buildings. Lodges and guest farms away from town use small sewage pump stations.
Water and ground in Worcester
Worcester is the hub of the Breede River valley, one of the country's big irrigation areas. Table grapes in the Hex River valley around De Doorns, wine grapes around Rawsonville and Robertson, and fruit and vegetables along the river all depend on water pumped from canals, farm dams, the Breede River and boreholes. Brandvlei Dam and the irrigation schemes supply much of it, and summers are hot and dry, so pumps run long hours from spring to autumn. Winter storms can bring floods down the Breede and the Hex, with damage to pump houses on low lying farms. In town, homes in Avian Park and Zwelethemba use tanks and boosters. Pump shops, irrigation suppliers and rewinders line the industrial roads of Worcester.
