Drainage, sewage & dewatering in Pretoria: local notes
Summer cloudbursts flood low gardens and garages in Arcadia, Sunnyside and the older suburbs, and drainage pumps with a float switch earn their keep there. Estates in Silver Lakes and Mooikloof often have sewage pump stations where the ground falls away from the sewer, and those need servicing on contract. Factories in Rosslyn and Waltloo use sump and dirty water pumps in wash bays and plant rooms, and pool pumps are steady repair work across the east.
Pretoria: the properties, the water and the pump shops
Pretoria East is borehole country. In Garsfontein, Moreleta Park, Faerie Glen and Lynnwood, a borehole for the garden is almost as common as a pool, and many owners now plumb it into a water tank as well, because Tshwane has had repeated water cuts and pressure problems in the east. North of the Magaliesberg, Akasia and Montana sit on different rock, and the smallholdings of Mooikloof, Kameeldrift and Roodeplaat rely on boreholes for house, garden and animals. Parts of the south and east lie on dolomite, where the municipality may restrict drilling. Pump shops, drillers and rewinders work out of Silverton, Waltloo, Rosslyn and Pretoria West.
Who asks for drainage pumps around Pretoria, most often first:
- Homeowners: a flooded basement, garage or low patio pumped out after a heavy thunderstorm
- Complexes, estates and body corporates: storm water pits and flooded parking bays cleared by the maintenance team
- Offices, shops, hotels and lodges: basement parking, lift motor rooms and plant rooms drained after a burst pipe
