Midrand notes on borehole & water supply
On the Kyalami and Glen Austin plots, a <a href="/borehole-pumps/">borehole pump</a> usually fills a tank on a stand, and a booster sends water to the house and stables. Complexes in Noordwyk and Carlswald often put in shared tanks with a pressure set to ride out water outages. Granite here can give useful water at moderate depth, but yields vary from plot to plot, so the yield test should set the pump size.
Water and ground in Midrand
Sitting between Johannesburg and Tshwane, Midrand has grown faster than its water network, and suburbs like Noordwyk, Vorna Valley and Halfway House have had long water outages when reservoirs ran low. That pushed many homes and complexes to put in water tanks and boosters. The older smallholdings of Kyalami, Glen Austin, Blue Hills and Carlswald still run on boreholes in granite, often with a pump feeding a tank for horses, gardens and the house. Big developments around Waterfall dig deep basements, which brings dewatering on site and sump pumps afterwards. Pump suppliers and installers work from the business parks along the old Pretoria Main Road and near the N1.
The requests we see from Midrand usually come from:
- Homeowners: a small solar pump filling a garden tank from the borehole without using grid power
- Smallholdings and plots: a solar kit keeping the house tank and animal troughs full through load-shedding
- Complexes, estates and body corporates: a solar pump filling irrigation tanks for the communal gardens
