Brits notes on drainage, sewage & dewatering
Hartbeespoort's lodges, guest houses and estates near the dam often sit below the sewer or have no sewer at all, so sewage pumps and small pump stations are common. Water hyacinth and silt make dam intakes hard on pumps. Factories in the Brits industrial area need drainage and sump pumps for wash bays and storm water, while mines toward Mooinooi run dewatering and slurry pumps.
Who pumps what in Brits
Smallholdings are what make Brits different. Between the town, Hartbeespoort and the Magaliesberg, thousands of plots run on borehole water for houses, gardens, horses and vegetable tunnels, and a stopped borehole pump is the call local installers get most. The Crocodile River and the canals below Hartbeespoort Dam feed farms that grow vegetables, citrus and grain under irrigation. Municipal supply in Madibeng has a long record of interruptions, so even town houses in Brits often keep a tank and a booster. The town also has a manufacturing and industrial side, with factories that need process and drainage pumps, and the chrome and platinum mines toward Mooinooi add mine work. Lightning on these hills is a frequent cause of burnt control boxes.
The requests we see from Brits usually come from:
- Smallholdings and plots: a cellar or pump room on low ground drained by a small automatic pump
- Farms: pack house drains and cold room pits emptied by a float operated pump
- Homeowners: a cellar, garage or basement room below the street kept dry in summer storms
