Drainage, sewage & dewatering in Potchefstroom: local notes
Flat ground near the Mooi River can hold water after heavy rain, and low lying properties sometimes need a sump pump or a drainage pump on a float. University residences, guest houses and new complexes on the outskirts may have sewage sumps where buildings sit lower than the sewer line. Pools are everywhere in the suburbs, so pool pump repairs and replacement pumps are a big share of summer work.
Who pumps what in Potchefstroom
Potchefstroom's water story starts underground. The Mooi River that runs through town is fed by dolomitic springs upstream, and dolomite underlies parts of the district, which means boreholes can be strong but drilling needs care because of the risk of sinkholes. Many homeowners in Baillie Park, Van der Hoff Park and Dassierand use boreholes for gardens, and student houses and flats near the university often have tanks and boosters for water cuts. Around the town, smallholdings and farms grow vegetables, maize and lucerne, pumping from boreholes and the river. Agricultural training and research here keep farmers well informed about pump choices. Summer storms on the Highveld bring lightning, and pump control boxes on exposed plots take a beating.
