Plumbing in East London

East London is South Africa's only river port and the main city of Buffalo City Metro. Its suburbs range from older homes in Vincent, Berea and Nahoon to newer developments in Beacon Bay and Gonubie, with plenty of older plumbing that needs replacement. The motor industry, centred on the vehicle plant on the Buffalo River, and the East London Industrial Development Zone provide factory and warehouse work. Municipal water outages and ageing infrastructure have pushed many residents to install storage tanks and pumps. Close to the sea, humidity and salt air speed up corrosion, so geyser inspections and fitting replacements are routine.
