Plumbing in Durban
Durban's warm, humid climate is hard on plumbing. Salt air from the Indian Ocean corrodes geyser drip trays, outside taps and metal fittings, and heavy summer downpours test stormwater drains and gutters, as the destructive April 2022 floods showed. eThekwini Municipality's water network has an ageing backlog, so residents often deal with supply interruptions and install backup tanks with pressure pumps. Older homes on the Berea and in Glenwood still have original pipework, while beachfront hotels, flats and restaurants need reliable hot water and drain maintenance. The port and industrial areas around the south basin add demand for commercial and factory plumbing.
Typical borehole pump installation requests in the area come from:
- Homes: suburban homes use borehole water for gardens, pools and backup supply
- Complexes: estates and complexes run communal boreholes to irrigate shared gardens
- Hospitality: lodges and guest farms depend on borehole pumps for their entire supply
- Restaurants: country restaurants supplement mains water with treated borehole supply
- Factories: factories pump borehole water for process use, washdown and cooling
- Offices: office parks pump borehole water for landscaping and toilet flushing
