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 solar geyser installation requests in the area come from:
- Homes: homeowners add solar geysers or retrofit kits to reduce electricity bills
- Mines: mines fit solar geysers on hostels and site accommodation
- Farms: farms install solar geysers for farmhouses, worker housing and dairies
- Retail: shopping centres fit solar water heating for food courts and staff facilities
- Schools: schools fit solar geysers on hostels and change room roofs
- Healthcare: clinics and care homes use solar to reduce constant hot water costs
