Drinking water in Ladysmith
Ladysmith's water comes from the Klip River and the upper Tugela system, under Alfred Duma Municipality in the uThukela District. Summers are hot, winters are frosty, and the area has faced pump failures, old pipes and shortages, particularly in Ezakheni, Steadville and parts of the older town. Many homes and small businesses keep tanks, and bottled water is common in clinics, schools and the offices around the town hall. The N3 and the nearby industrial estates at Ezakheni bring truck stops, clothing factories and warehouses, all with staff who need drinking water through long shifts. Farmers around Colenso and Elandslaagte often rely on boreholes.
The requests we see from Ladysmith usually come from:
- Factories, mines and building sites: larger RO sets for canteens, laundry, cleaning and process water on the factory floor
- Schools, crèches and colleges: an RO unit for staff and tuck shop use where tap water is hard
- Households: an under-sink RO unit with its own tap for drinking, cooking and the kettle
