Plumbing in Pietermaritzburg
Pietermaritzburg, the provincial capital, has some of the oldest building stock in KwaZulu-Natal, with Victorian red-brick homes and municipal buildings whose pipes and drains are well past their design life. Unlike the coast, the city sits in a basin that gets hot summers with heavy thunderstorms and cold winter nights, with frost in some low-lying areas, so exposed pipes and solar geysers need protection. The Msunduzi Municipality's network has struggled with leaks and outages, prompting many homeowners to install storage tanks. Government offices, schools, hospitals and the University of KwaZulu-Natal campus provide steady institutional work, and the Midlands farms beyond rely on boreholes.
Typical solar geyser installation requests in the area come from:
- Homes: homeowners add solar geysers or retrofit kits to reduce electricity bills
- Offices: offices fit small solar systems for kitchens and staff showers
- Schools: schools fit solar geysers on hostels and change room roofs
- Healthcare: clinics and care homes use solar to reduce constant hot water costs
- Farms: farms install solar geysers for farmhouses, worker housing and dairies
- Factories: factories preheat process and wash-down water with solar collectors
