The main hot and cold water dispensers page explains the types, the standards and the costs in more detail.
Kimberley notes on dispensers & coolers
In Kimberley, mining and engineering offices in Beaconsfield and the Hull Street area prefer sturdy floor-standing hot and cold dispensers, while Galeshewe clinics and crèches usually go for small, simple coolers. Heavy summer heat makes a chilled option important. Where chlorine taste is strong at the end of the pipeline, a unit with a carbon filter is a sensible request.
Drinking water in Kimberley
Kimberley draws its drinking water from the Vaal River, treated and supplied in bulk by Sedibeng Water through the Riverton scheme, and then reticulated by the Sol Plaatje municipality. The pipeline is long, so when pumps fail or mains burst, whole suburbs can be dry for days. Water is often fairly hard and can carry a chlorine taste at the far ends of the network. Summers are punishingly hot, which drives dispenser use at mining offices, the university, hospitals, schools in Galeshewe and Roodepan, and the guesthouses and tour operators around the Big Hole.
Who asks for hot and cold water dispensers around Kimberley, most often first:
- Offices and business parks: a tearoom dispenser that replaces the queue at the kettle and keeps meetings on time
- 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
