What to know locally in Polokwane
Polokwane's summer storms are short and heavy, so storm water floods low parts of Seshego, Westenburg and the CBD for a few hours at a time, and drainage pumps clear basements and yards. Lodges and estates on the edge of the city may have sewage pump stations that need servicing. Pool pumps work hard in the heat, so repairs to seals and capacitors are common.
Polokwane: the properties, the water and the pump shops
Polokwane is a dry city with a growing population, and water shortages have pushed many households to find their own supply. Suburbs like Bendor and Flora Park have plenty of garden boreholes and tanks, while villages around Moletjie, Ga-Mothapo and Mankweng often depend on community boreholes or private ones. The city's water comes partly from distant dams and partly from groundwater, and both come under strain in a dry year. Farms on the plateau grow potatoes, vegetables and game, irrigating from boreholes where yields allow. Ground is mostly granite and gneiss, often hard to drill and uneven in yield. Pump shops, drillers and rewinders sit in the industrial areas near the N1, and many serve villages across the region.
The requests we see from Polokwane usually come from:
- 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
- Offices, shops, hotels and lodges: car wash silt traps and sand traps at large sites emptied
Local tips for Polokwane
Common here: garden and village boreholes, tank boosters for water cuts, potato irrigation. Ask each supplier about this: ask the driller what happens to the price if the hole is dry. Where they work from: pump shops, drillers and rewinders in the industrial areas off the N1.
Sizes vary: heavy three phase pumps, many sizes. Here, homeowners lead the requests, typically for rarely needed at home, perhaps to clear silt from a large ornamental dam. One local point to raise: installers travel to villages and farms around the city, often 30 to 80 km out.
