Eastern Cape notes on drainage, sewage & dewatering
Factories in Kariega, Coega and East London's industrial areas run sumps and drainage pumps, and construction in sandy ground near Jeffreys Bay, Port Alfred and the Gqeberha beachfront often needs <a href="/dewatering-pumps/">dewatering pumps</a>. Coastal estates and resorts use sewage pump stations. When heavy rain does come, flooding in East London and low lying parts of Nelson Mandela Bay sends people looking for drainage pumps.
Who pumps what in Eastern Cape
Few provinces have felt water stress as sharply. The long drought that drained the dams supplying Nelson Mandela Bay pushed thousands of Gqeberha households to drill boreholes and fit tanks, and Makhanda is known for long water outages. In the Karoo around Graaff-Reinet, Cradock and Somerset East, sheep farms depend on boreholes and windmills, now often changed to solar. The Sundays River Valley around Kirkwood grows citrus on canal and borehole water. Kariega, the Coega zone and East London have car plants and factories that use process and drainage pumps. On the coast, sandy ground near Jeffreys Bay and Port Alfred calls for wellpoints, and the old Transkei relies on springs and boreholes.

- Homeowners: a cellar, garage or basement room below the street kept dry in summer storms
