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.
Water and ground 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.
The requests we see from Pretoria usually come from:
- Homeowners: a garden pond, birdbath or small fountain with a quiet submersible pump
- Complexes, estates and body corporates: entrance water features and estate lakes with larger fountain pumps
- Offices, shops, hotels and lodges: lodges, hotels and office parks with waterfalls and fountains in the gardens
