Angola Borehole Drilling Project - Phase I
The JAM Water Services team has just completed Phase I of the Angola Borehole Drilling Project. Drilling commenced in February 2019 and completed in mid April 2019 with a total of 51 new boreholes been drilled. Our team is back for some rest and recuperation and will then join the team in South Africa for 2 months before returning to Angola to commence Phase II of the project. Our target is to drill 100 boreholes this year in Angola providing clean water to rural schools, clinics and communities. Our equipment will also go through some major services and modifications. Thanks to JAM International for making this project possible and a great thanks to a dedicated team of drillers and support crew.

Day Zero 2019 'highly likely' for Cape Town, say climate scientists
It is highly unlikely that Cape Town's catchment area will get the above average rainfall it desperately needs this year to break one of the city's worst droughts on record, a climate scientist has said.
And if there is not above average rainfall this year, Cape Town is unlikely to avoid a Day Zero in 2019.
Experts have said that the catchment area needs at least four consecutive months of above average rainfall in 2018 to fill the dams sufficiently, to see Cape Town and surrounds through next summer and to avoid a Day Zero in 2019.

Western Cape dam levels drop even more
Cape Town - The latest average level, for dams across the Western Cape, is 20.83% - compared to 30.09% for the same time last year - MEC for Local Government, Environmental Affairs and Development Planning Anton Bredell said on Monday.
"At this stage, the water situation in our 30 municipalities is relatively stable, thanks to continued interventions as well as a concerted effort to save water by citizens and business.
"However, the agriculture sector remains a major concern for us in the provincial government. We will continue to step up and provide support to this important sector, which is bearing the brunt of the drought."

Big Water Strike - Pretoria Area
On Friday JAM Water Service had one of it's biggest water strikes this year. The borehole was drilled to a depth of 85 meters on a plot located on the eastern side of Pretoria. Once we have done a 4 hour water yield test we will know an accurate yield, however our estimate is that this borehole will yield around 20 000L per hour.

Boreholes Cape Town
JAM Water Services has established a branch in Cape Town and will be available to drill boreholes in the Cape Town area from Mid February 2018.
We have purchased a drill rig specifically for Cape Town, mounted on a 4x4 truck which is smaller than our current fleet of 6x6 Drill Rig Trucks. This smaller rig is able to access smaller areas and is still capable of drilling up to 300 meters. This new Drill Rig is much more efficient than the smaller trailer type drill rigs that are available.
The services that we offer in Cape Town are.
- Borehole drilling
- Water yield testing
- Water quality testing
- Borehole pump installations (Submersible pumps)
- Water tank and booster pump installations
JAM Water Services has drilled over 2 800 boreholes throughout Africa, including Angola, Mozambique, Ethiopia, South Sudan, Zimbabwe and South Africa. Our drilling crews are very experienced in the various drilling methods including mud rotary drilling, symmetrics and DHT percussion drilling.
