Gqeberha notes on borehole & water supply
During the drought many homes in Walmer, Mill Park, Lorraine and Newton Park drilled boreholes, and depths and yields vary across the metro. Size the pump to the yield test and check with the municipality about registration. Tanks with booster pumps and changeovers are common in Motherwell, KwaZakhele and the northern suburbs. Factories along the harbour and in the motor industry run pressure sets and process pumps.
Gqeberha: the properties, the water and the pump shops
Nelson Mandela Bay learnt about water the hard way. A long drought left the supply dams very low for several years, restrictions were tight, and thousands of homes and businesses drilled boreholes or installed tanks. That is still the base of most pump work here: borehole pumps for gardens in Walmer, Lorraine and Newton Park, booster pumps on tanks across the northern areas, and pressure sets for factories. Groundwater quality varies, and some holes give salty or iron rich water, so test before you drink it. Leaks and burst pipes add their own outages. The harbour, the motor industry in Struandale and Markman, and the Coega zone keep industrial and dewatering pumps busy, and the wind and salt air wear out surface equipment.
The requests we see from Gqeberha usually come from:
- Homeowners: a borehole pump for the garden or a pump to send tank water to the house
- Offices, shops, hotels and lodges: basement sumps, backup water pumps and pressure sets for offices, hotels and schools
- Complexes, estates and body corporates: communal borehole pumps, storm water sumps and sewage pumps for the complex
