Richards Bay notes on borehole & water supply
Gardens in Meerensee, Arboretum and Birdswood often run off shallow wellpoints or short boreholes in the sand, with a surface pump or a small submersible. The water can be high in iron, which stains walls and paving, so ask a pump shop about it before you plant a lawn around it. Cane farms near Empangeni, Felixton and Mtunzini pump from rivers, dams and boreholes for irrigation, usually with three phase pumps.
Water and ground in Richards Bay
Sand is the defining feature of pumping in Richards Bay. The town is built on coastal dunes with lakes all around, the water table is shallow, and almost every excavation near the harbour, the bulk terminals and the industrial areas of Alton needs dewatering, often with wellpoints jetted into the sand. Heavy industry and the harbour keep slurry, process and sump pumps working around the clock, and dune mining along the coast moves sand and water by pump. Inland, sugar cane covers the hills around Empangeni and Felixton, with irrigation from rivers and boreholes. Tropical downpours flood low ground quickly. Homes in Meerensee and Arboretum often use shallow wellpoints for gardens, but the water can be high in iron.
The requests we see from Richards Bay usually come from:
- Factories, plants and depots: water for remote depots, yards and dust suppression without a grid connection
- Farms: replacing windmills and diesel pumps at remote boreholes for livestock and game
- Homeowners: a small solar pump filling a garden tank from the borehole without using grid power
