What to know locally in Eastern Cape
Gqeberha and Coega factories and the automotive suppliers around Struandale want sturdy floor-standing coolers that run all shifts. Hot and cold bottom-loading units are common in East London's Vincent and Quigney offices. Jeffreys Bay and Port Alfred guesthouses lean towards countertop dispensers. Where taps run dry often, bottle-fed machines are preferred over plumbed-in ones, though plumbed-in units suit the newer offices at Baywest.
Drinking water in Eastern Cape
The Eastern Cape has long been a province of two stories when it comes to water. Nelson Mandela Bay draws on the Kouga and Churchill dams and has been hit by drought and low storage, while Buffalo City relies on the Amatola system. Inland, Makhanda has faced severe supply problems for years, and in the former Transkei towns such as Mthatha, outages and burst pipes are frequent. Many rural villages depend on boreholes, springs and tanks. Automotive plants in Gqeberha and Coega, schools, clinics and guesthouses along the coast all depend on safe drinking water.

The requests we see from Eastern Cape usually come from:
- Factories, mines and building sites: hot water for canteen tea and soup, and cold water for hot shifts on the floor
- Households: a hot and cold unit in the kitchen for tea, coffee, soup and the odd baby bottle
- Schools, crèches and colleges: a staffroom unit with a child lock, kept away from the classrooms and corridors
