Pretoria notes on borehole & water supply
A typical job in Pretoria East is a 4 inch <a href="/borehole-pumps/">borehole pump</a> feeding garden irrigation, with a second line to a tank and booster for the house during water cuts. On the plots in Mooikloof and Kameeldrift a single borehole supplies the house, animals and vegetable beds, so flow and storage matter. Further out, farms toward Cullinan and Bronkhorstspruit are swapping old windmills for solar pumps.
Who pumps what in Pretoria
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.
Typical tank pumps requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: a booster and changeover so the house keeps water through cuts and load-shedding
- Smallholdings and plots: a pump feeding the house from a tank filled by the borehole
- Complexes, estates and body corporates: backup tanks and pumps for clubhouses, guardhouses and units
