Wellpoint Installation Centurion covers shallow groundwater systems across Centurion, where dolomite ground and the drilling restriction that comes with it govern most of the area.
Much of Centurion sits on dolomite, and drilling there requires certification from a registered professional.
Confirm whether your erf falls in the dolomite restriction area first, then send your street and garden size.
Check Your Centurion PropertyGround Conditions
Centurion is built on the Malmani dolomite of the Chuniespoort Group, and that is the defining fact for any groundwater work here. The City of Tshwane prohibits drilling in dolomite-underlain suburbs unless the site is certified as safe by an appropriately registered professional.
The suburbs the metro has listed include Valhalla, Erasmia, Laudium, Claudius, Hennopspark, Bronberrick, Wierdapark, Eldoraigne, Clubview, Die Hoewes, Lyttelton, Doornkloof, Zwartkop, Highveld, Irene, Cornwall Hill, Monument Park, Pierre van Ryneveld and Rietvalleirand. More than 800 sinkholes have been recorded in southern Tshwane, so the restriction is a response to a real and repeated problem.
Where a site is certified, dolomite groundwater is often abundant, since the aquifer is genuinely productive. It is also typically hard, high in calcium and magnesium, which scales fittings and leaves deposits on foliage and paving. Plan for softening or accept the scaling.

These are indicative Pretoria market ranges, not a quotation. Wellpoint pricing moves with depth, ground conditions, access and the pump specified, so treat these as a budgeting starting point and compare written quotes on what each one actually includes.
Ask what happens if no usable water is struck, whether the pump, controller and electrical connection are in the price, and what the guarantee covers.
Registration
Two things apply in Centurion. First, the dolomite restriction: the City of Tshwane prohibits drilling in the listed dolomite-underlain suburbs unless the site is certified as safe by an appropriately registered professional, and that has to be settled before any equipment is booked. Second, the ordinary requirement to register the installation with the metro once complete, which is the property owner’s obligation rather than the installer’s. National registration through the Department of Water and Sanitation is generally not required for reasonable domestic use. Confirm the current position for your erf with the City directly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I install a wellpoint in Centurion?
Only where the site is certified as safe by an appropriately registered professional. Most of Centurion sits on dolomite, and the City of Tshwane prohibits drilling in those suburbs without certification.
Why is drilling restricted on dolomite?
Dolomite dissolves over time, leaving cavities and weak zones. Disturbing the ground or changing groundwater movement can trigger a sinkhole. Southern Tshwane has recorded more than 800, with over a billion rand in property damage.
Is Centurion groundwater hard?
Typically yes. Dolomitic water is high in calcium and magnesium, which scales kettles, fittings and irrigation emitters and leaves white deposits on paving and leaves. A water test establishes the level and softening handles it.
