Plumbing in Welkom
Welkom was built in the late 1940s and 1950s to serve the Free State goldfields, and much of its housing dates from that planned-town era. Decades on, original pipework, sewer connections and geysers in many homes are due for replacement. Mining shafts, hostels and support businesses still need industrial plumbing, pump work and ablution maintenance, even though several mines have scaled down. The Matjhabeng municipality has struggled with ageing water and sewer infrastructure, so homeowners often turn to private plumbers for leaks and blockages. Cold Highveld winters bring frost-damaged pipes, and surrounding maize farms rely on boreholes.
Typical borehole pump installation requests in the area come from:
- Homes: suburban homes use borehole water for gardens, pools and backup supply
- Mines: mines use borehole pumps for water supply and groundwater control
- Farms: farms run solar borehole pumps for livestock troughs, irrigation and homesteads
- Retail: garden centres and nurseries irrigate stock from their own borehole
- Schools: schools use boreholes to keep sports fields green and ablutions running
- Healthcare: rural clinics rely on borehole pumps with storage for a steady supply
