On this page you will find the most recent (2022) Tshwane Borehole Drilling Regulations that you should know before drilling and installation of a borehole. These regulations apply in all areas of Pretoria and Centurion.

The City of Tshwane has no objection to the drilling of a borehole on your property subject to the following conditions:

  1. In terms of section 39 of the National Water Act, Act 36 of 1998, the following is applicable:
    • Boreholes delivering less than 50 kiloliters per day, are in order and no registration of the borehole is required.
    • Boreholes delivering between 50 and 100 kiloliters per day must be registered with the National Department of Water and Sanitation.
    • Boreholes delivering more than 100 kiloliters per day require a water licence from the National Department of Water and Sanitation.
  2. Water from boreholes may only be used on the property on which the borehole is drilled.
  3. Water from boreholes may not be sold to other consumers.
  4. The internal borehole water supply network may not be connected to the municipal water system.
  5. The owner is responsible for testing to ensure that the borehole water is safe for drinking purposes.
  6. If a borehole is to be drilled in a dolomite area, a geotechnical investigation is required beforehand.
  7. The suburbs Bronberrick and Eldoraigne are underlain by dolomite bedrock. Due to the risk of dolomite instability there, drilling boreholes in these two suburbs are prohibited.
  8. An appropriate sign must be visible if a borehole exists on the property.
  9. The use of borehole water is the responsibility of the owner of the property; the City of Tshwane cannot be held responsible for any health, safety or other concern as a result of the use of the water.
