Wellpoint Installation Eldoraigne covers shallow groundwater systems in Eldoraigne, one of the Centurion suburbs where the City of Tshwane restricts drilling.
Eldoraigne is dolomite ground, and it has been specifically identified as an area where drilling is not permitted without certification.
Confirm whether your erf falls in the dolomite restriction area first, then send your street and garden size.
Check Your Eldoraigne PropertyGround Conditions
Eldoraigne appears on the City of Tshwane's list of dolomite-underlain suburbs, and it has been reported as an area where residents are not permitted to drill. The restriction is lifted only where an appropriately registered professional certifies the site as safe.
The underlying reason is sinkhole risk. Malmani dolomite dissolves to leave cavities under a soil cover, and disturbing the ground or changing groundwater movement can bring that cover down. The record in southern Tshwane is more than 800 sinkholes.
For an Eldoraigne property the sequence is fixed: confirm the position with the metro, obtain a geotechnical assessment if you intend to proceed, and only then approach installers. Any contractor willing to skip the first two steps is a reason to look elsewhere.

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 Eldoraigne. 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.
