What to know locally in Pretoria
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.
Typical sewage pump stations requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: a small shared station for a few houses on a low street below the sewer
- Offices, shops, hotels and lodges: lodges, schools, hospitals and malls with duty and standby stations on contract
- Factories, plants and depots: factory ablutions and canteens pumped to the sewer from a package station
