What to know locally in Paarl
Wineries and packhouses in the valley produce wash water and effluent that is pumped to ponds or treatment, and in harvest season those pumps run hard. In wet winters the Berg River floods low lying fields and roads around Paarl and Wellington, and drainage pumps are hired out. Lodges, guest farms and estates outside the sewer network often run sewage pump stations with alarms.
Water and ground in Paarl
Vineyards, fruit orchards and the Berg River define pumping around Paarl. Farms in the Drakenstein valley, Groot Drakenstein, Simondium and Wellington fill their dams in winter and irrigate through the dry summer with drip and micro sprinklers, so irrigation pumps, filters and pressure control are the core of the work. Some farms also pump from the Berg River or boreholes in the granite and sandstone. The Berg River can flood in a wet winter and low lands along it go under. In town, homes below Paarl Mountain and in Dal Josafat drilled boreholes during the drought, and wineries and packhouses need effluent and wash water pumps. Pump shops, irrigation suppliers and rewinders work from Dal Josafat and the roads off the N1.

- Farms: silted dams, dairy effluent and manure slurry moved to settling ponds
