What to know locally in Kimberley
Kimberley residents commonly buy 18.9 litre refills when the taps go off, and tanker operators supply schools and clinics through longer outages. Hard Vaal water leaves scale, so under-counter filters and RO units in Hadison Park and Royldene are popular. Farms toward Barkly West and Ritchie use boreholes, where a lab test should come before a treatment choice.
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.
Typical UV water purification requests in the area come from:
- Offices and business parks: UV on the incoming line of a rural office or workshop with a tank or borehole supply
- Households: a small UV unit at the kitchen tap or after the tank for drinking water
- Schools, crèches and colleges: UV after the storage tank at a rural school, with the lamp changed in the holidays
