Water Tank Installation for Pretoria homes and businesses

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.
