Pinetown notes on borehole & water supply
Homes high up in Kloof, Gillitts and the top of Westville sometimes see low pressure or no water when demand peaks, so a tank with a booster pump and a pressure vessel is a common fix. Some larger properties in Kloof have boreholes, often in hard rock, and the yield varies a lot from plot to plot, so ask for the yield test before sizing the pump. Factories in New Germany often run their own pressure sets.
Pinetown: the properties, the water and the pump shops
Steep hills shape the pumping work around Pinetown. Water runs off the slopes of Kloof, Westville and Queensburgh hard and fast in a summer storm, so retaining walls, garages and basements built into the hillside often need a sump with a float switch. In the April 2022 floods, homes and factories in the outer west took heavy damage, and many owners have since added drainage pumps and better storm water channels. New Germany and Westmead are dense with factories that run process water pumps, cooling water circuits and fire pump sets, and the motor rewinders and pump repairers based there serve much of the outer west. Uphill homes sometimes struggle with low municipal pressure, which brings in booster pumps and tanks.
