Johannesburg notes on borehole & water supply
Most pump work in Johannesburg starts with a water cut. A <a href="/jojo-tank-pumps/">tank pump</a> and changeover on a house in Westdene or Kensington keeps the taps going, and blocks of flats in Yeoville and Berea use booster sets to reach the top floors when pressure drops. In the northern suburbs, garden boreholes are often drilled through granite to moderate depths; ask the driller what nearby holes have yielded and size the pump to the test.
Who pumps what in Johannesburg
Johannesburg gets its water from the Vaal system through a long chain of pipes, pump stations and reservoirs, and when one link fails the taps in whole suburbs run dry. Many areas, from Melville and Linden on the ridges to parts of Soweto and the south, have had water cuts and low pressure that last days, so water tanks with booster pumps are now common on houses and flats. Boreholes are popular in the leafy north, but the city asks owners to register them, so check before you drill. Under the south and the CBD lie old gold workings, and pump repair and rewinding workshops cluster in Denver, City Deep, Industria and Jeppestown.
The requests we see from Johannesburg 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
- Factories, plants and depots: process water from boreholes, effluent sumps and wash bay pits at plants and depots

The jobs that come up most: water tank boosters for water cuts, garden boreholes, pressure sets for flats.

Around Johannesburg the largest group asking is homeowners, which usually means a borehole pump for the garden or a pump to send tank water to the house. Before you agree to anything: flow and total head, then the yield. Getting a technician there: installers and drillers cover the whole metro; rigs come from yards south and west.
