Mahikeng notes on dispensers & coolers
Around Mahikeng, the provincial government offices in Mmabatho and the busy corridors of the Mega City shopping area are where freestanding coolers dominate. Bottom-loading units suit reception desks, while schools in Montshiwa and Lomanyaneng often choose simple hot and cold units for staff rooms. Where the tap water is mineral, plumbed-in dispensers with a sediment stage are worth asking for, since scale builds up inside hot tanks.
Drinking water in Mahikeng
Mahikeng sits on a dry bushveld plain where groundwater has long mattered. The Molopo Eye near Grootfontein is a well known source, and the local municipality also draws on dams and boreholes to keep taps running. Supply in Mmabatho and the outlying villages has often been interrupted by pump failures, power cuts and ageing pipes, so many yards keep a plastic tank on a stand. Water can taste mineral and leaves scale in kettles. Provincial departments, the university campus, schools, clinics and guesthouses around Mmabatho are the main dispenser users, and summer heat pushes demand up every December.
Typical water vending machines requests in the area 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
