What to know locally in Free State
The goldfields around Welkom, Virginia and Odendaalsrus still need underground water pumped out, along with slurry from processing and old tailings. Sasolburg plants use sumps and process pumps. In towns, summer storms flood low streets and yards quickly, so <a href="/drainage-pumps/">drainage pumps</a> are common, and guest farms near Clarens and Harrismith use small sewage pump stations where the ground does not fall to the sewer.
Who pumps what in Free State
Maize, sunflower, wheat and cattle cover most of the Free State, and almost every farm has a borehole somewhere, many still with a windmill turning over a stock dam. Farmers are steadily replacing those windmills with solar pumps and adding centre pivots fed by boreholes and rivers along the Vaal, the Vet and the Modder. In the south, the Orange and Riet rivers supply irrigation schemes around Jacobsdal. Welkom and Virginia sit on the goldfields, where mines have long pumped water from underground, and Sasolburg has a large petrochemical industry. Bloemfontein has faced water cuts in many suburbs, pushing homes towards tanks and boreholes. Winters bring hard frost, which splits exposed pipes and pumps.
Who asks for slurry pumps around Free State, most often first:
- Farms: silted dams, dairy effluent and manure slurry moved to settling ponds
- Homeowners: rarely needed at home, perhaps to clear silt from a large ornamental dam
- Smallholdings and plots: a silted farm dam or a sand trap cleared with a hired slurry pump
