Centurion notes on installation, repairs & parts
Pump shops and rewinders in Hennopspark, Sunderland Ridge and Lyttelton serve Centurion, with more workshops a short drive north in Pretoria. Many estates hold service contracts for their sewage stations and pressure sets. Drillers here should know the local dolomite maps; ask how they handle casing and grouting and whether they check the stand first. Lightning is common in summer, so ask for surge protection on any control box.
Centurion: the properties, the water and the pump shops
Dolomite shapes every water decision in Centurion. Sinkholes have opened in Lyttelton, Eldoraigne, Valhalla and along the N1 over the years, and drilling a borehole or letting water leak into the ground on dolomite can make things worse, so Tshwane controls boreholes in these areas and may ask for a geotechnical report. Where drilling is allowed, the dolomite can hold a lot of water. Many households in Rooihuiskraal, Wierda Park and Midstream rely instead on water tanks and boosters through cuts. The Hennops River floods the low ground around the Centurion lake in heavy storms, and smallholdings at Mnandi, Erasmia and Olievenhoutbosch run on borehole water.
Typical borehole drilling requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: a garden borehole in the suburbs drilled to ride out water cuts
- Smallholdings and plots: one borehole sited and drilled for the house, animals and a veg garden
- Offices, shops, hotels and lodges: a lodge, school or hotel drilling a borehole for backup water
