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 water tank installation requests in the area come from:
- Homes: households install backup tanks with a pump to ride out municipal water outages
- Mines: mines store potable and process water in large tank farms
- Farms: farms store borehole and rainwater for livestock, irrigation and homesteads
- Retail: shops and centres store water for toilets and cleaning during interruptions
- Schools: schools install tanks so ablutions stay usable and classes are not cancelled
- Healthcare: clinics and hospitals keep critical water supply through storage tanks and pumps
