Drinking water in Welkom
Welkom was built for the goldfields, and its water network shows its age. Bulk water comes from the Vaal system through Sedibeng Water, then the Matjhabeng municipality distributes it over a wide, flat grid of streets and townships. Burst mains, reservoir problems and broken pumps have left parts of Thabong, Virginia and Odendaalsrus without water for long stretches. Taps may show discolouration after repairs. With mining decline, many offices have downsized, but schools, clinics, shopping centres, guesthouses and the remaining industrial sites still buy coolers, and households commonly stock bottles and tanks for outage days.

The requests we see from Welkom usually come from:
- 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
- Clinics, practices and care homes: a trusted refill point nearby, used with care and a recent water test on show
