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.
The requests we see from Pretoria usually come from:
- Homeowners: a basement bathroom or granny flat below the street sewer pumped up to the connection
- Smallholdings and plots: a cottage or farm house waste lifted to a septic system on higher ground
- Complexes, estates and body corporates: a clubhouse or low lying units pumped into the estate sewer network
Local tips for Pretoria
Asked for most in Pretoria: garden boreholes in Pretoria East, smallholding pumps, tank and booster setups. Where the pump shops and drillers are: silverton and Waltloo in the east, Rosslyn and Pretoria West for bigger workshops. A useful tip: ask the driller what nearby holes yielded and whether your stand is on dolomite.
Sizes vary: single phase homes, three phase for buildings. Here, homeowners lead the requests, typically for a basement bathroom or granny flat below the street sewer pumped up to the connection. One local point to raise: drillers and installers cover the city and the plots north to Hammanskraal.
