Plumbing in Port Elizabeth
Gqeberha and the wider Nelson Mandela Bay metro went through a prolonged drought in recent years, with supply dams falling to very low levels and strict water restrictions in force. Households responded with rainwater tanks, boreholes, greywater diversion and low-flow fittings, and municipal leak repair became a major issue. The city is also the centre of South Africa's motor industry, with vehicle and component plants in Kariega and the Coega zone needing industrial plumbing. Older homes in Walmer and Newton Park have ageing galvanised pipes, and the windy coastal climate means beachfront properties in Summerstrand and Humewood deal with salt-air corrosion on geysers and fittings.

Typical plumbing certificate of compliance requests in the area come from:
- Homes: homeowners need CoCs for new geysers, insurance claims and property sales
- Factories: factories need plumbing CoCs for new ablutions, geysers and building alterations
- Complexes: sellers in sectional title schemes need certificates covering their unit's plumbing
- Hospitality: guesthouses and hotels need CoCs for new geysers and heat pump systems
- Offices: office owners need plumbing certificates when buildings are sold or refurbished
- Schools: schools need certificates after ablution upgrades and new hot water installations
