Plumbing in Johannesburg
Johannesburg Water supplies the city with bulk water bought from Rand Water, but much of its pipe network is decades old, and burst mains and reservoir failures have caused lengthy outages in many suburbs. That makes storage tanks, pressure pumps and backup systems some of the most requested plumbing jobs. Older areas like Melville, Parkhurst and Observatory still have original galvanised steel pipes that rust and leak, while inner-city flats need riser and sewer repairs. Summer storms overload drains, and the CBD's offices, restaurants and hospitals need ongoing commercial plumbing maintenance.
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
- Offices: office parks pump borehole water for landscaping and toilet flushing
- Restaurants: country restaurants supplement mains water with treated borehole supply
- Healthcare: rural clinics rely on borehole pumps with storage for a steady supply
- Retail: garden centres and nurseries irrigate stock from their own borehole
