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 leak detection requests in the area come from:
- Homes: homeowners find hidden leaks behind high water bills, damp walls and wet gardens
- Offices: office parks track down water losses in underground mains and ceiling voids
- Complexes: body corporates trace leaks on shared supply lines and between units
- Schools: schools trace large water losses on long underground pipe runs across the grounds
- Healthcare: hospitals and clinics find leaks in ducts and slabs without disrupting patient areas
- Restaurants: restaurants find hot water leaks under kitchen floors that drive up utility costs
