Plumbing in Pretoria
The City of Tshwane supplies Pretoria from a mix of Rand Water bulk water, its own dams such as Rietvlei, and springs and boreholes drawing on dolomitic aquifers. In parts of the city the water is noticeably hard, and scale build-up in geyser elements and shower heads is a familiar complaint. Established suburbs such as Waterkloof, Brooklyn and Lynnwood have homes dating back many decades with ageing pipework, while Sunnyside and Arcadia have dense apartment blocks. Government buildings, embassies, universities and large hospitals such as Steve Biko Academic create large institutional plumbing contracts.
Typical burst pipe repairs requests in the area come from:
- Homes: homeowners repair burst pipes in walls, roof spaces and under paving
- Offices: office buildings repair burst pipes in ceilings before they damage equipment
- Complexes: body corporates fix burst supply lines that affect several units at once
- Schools: schools repair burst mains on the grounds and pipes in ageing ablution blocks
- Healthcare: clinics need burst pipes repaired fast to protect patients and keep water flowing
- Restaurants: restaurants need burst kitchen lines repaired quickly to keep trading
