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.
The requests we see from Kimberley usually come from:
- Offices and business parks: a refill point close to the office park for topping up bottles between deliveries
- Households: a nearby refill machine where you fill your own clean 18.9 litre bottles for less
- Schools, crèches and colleges: a station near the school or crèche for affordable bottles on days the supply is off
