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.
Who pumps what in Pinetown
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.
Typical submersible pumps requests in the area come from:
- Factories, plants and depots: process water from boreholes, effluent sumps and wash bay pits at plants and depots
- Contractors and drillers: pumps for new boreholes, trench dewatering on site and installs for clients
- Homeowners: a borehole pump for the garden or a pump to send tank water to the house
