What to know locally in Pietermaritzburg
Factories in Mkondeni and Willowton run forklifts on LPG exchange and rent welding gas for maintenance work. Frost and winter wind make hoses go hard and crack, so check regulators and hoses on heaters in Prestbury and Athlone before winter starts. Cylinder cages are common in Northdale and Raisethorpe yards, where theft of full cylinders from open stoeps is a concern.
Pietermaritzburg: the supply, the weather and the buildings
Pietermaritzburg lies in a bowl where winter mornings are cold and frost is common in the low parts of the city, so gas heaters do a lot of work here from May to August. LPG arrives by road up the N3 from the coast and is sold through dealers, refill stations and hardware stores around the city, with delivery in Hilton and the newer estates. Households in Scottsville, Wembley and Hayfields cook and heat water with gas, schools and student digs ask about safe heaters, and the Midlands farms beyond Howick use gas for brooders and farmhouses. Never run a heater in a closed bedroom, and keep cylinders outside in the open air.
