What to know locally in Polokwane
Polokwane's summer storms are short and heavy, so storm water floods low parts of Seshego, Westenburg and the CBD for a few hours at a time, and drainage pumps clear basements and yards. Lodges and estates on the edge of the city may have sewage pump stations that need servicing. Pool pumps work hard in the heat, so repairs to seals and capacitors are common.
Polokwane: the properties, the water and the pump shops
Polokwane is a dry city with a growing population, and water shortages have pushed many households to find their own supply. Suburbs like Bendor and Flora Park have plenty of garden boreholes and tanks, while villages around Moletjie, Ga-Mothapo and Mankweng often depend on community boreholes or private ones. The city's water comes partly from distant dams and partly from groundwater, and both come under strain in a dry year. Farms on the plateau grow potatoes, vegetables and game, irrigating from boreholes where yields allow. Ground is mostly granite and gneiss, often hard to drill and uneven in yield. Pump shops, drillers and rewinders sit in the industrial areas near the N1, and many serve villages across the region.
Who asks for sump pumps around Polokwane, most often first:
- Homeowners: a cellar, garage or basement room below the street kept dry in summer storms
- Farms: pack house drains and cold room pits emptied by a float operated pump
- Municipalities, schools and clinics: underpasses, pump rooms and public building basements with automatic sumps
