Borehole & water supply in eMalahleni: local notes
Houses in eMalahleni mostly pump for backup rather than for a garden. A plastic tank on a stand, a booster pump with a pressure controller, and a changeover from municipal water covers most water cuts. Where people drill, the driller should warn you about old undermined ground and water that tastes of iron or sulphur near the workings. Smallholdings toward Clewer and the Olifants River side use 4 inch borehole pumps with a tank to fill by day.
eMalahleni: the properties, the water and the pump shops
Coal shapes almost every pumping job around eMalahleni. Opencast pits and underground workings toward Ogies and Kriel collect rain and groundwater that has to be pumped out day and night, and much of that water is acidic, so mines ask for pumps with wet ends that can handle it. In town the story is different: many suburbs have had water cuts and low pressure, which is why so many houses in Del Judor, Reyno Ridge and Clewer now have a plastic tank and a booster pump. Boreholes are drilled here too, but water quality near old workings can be poor, so test before you drink it. Pump shops, rewinders and mine suppliers cluster in Ferrobank and along the N4 service roads.
