What to know locally in Pretoria
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.
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.
The requests we see from Pretoria usually come from:
- Homeowners: a small tank on the booster so the pump stops starting for every tap
- Smallholdings and plots: a larger tank on the borehole system for steady pressure to the house
- Complexes, estates and body corporates: vessels on communal pressure sets and garden systems
