It is already 2 months ago that we let you know what is happening at Riversands.

In May we had a problem with the pump of the borehole at the school,( we dont have municipal water here only one borehole) the pump broke and then ofcourse there is no water, can you imagine 750 children in the school and there is no water, just think only of how the toilets would look like!!!!!!!

The Village church in Lonehill , donated the money for repairing the pump, luckily a few days later that problem was solved.

In the garden the terraces 4 and 5 have been built and all the beds are almost digged, this last weekend the irrigation was put in, this month we have to get all the beds ready for the summer seeds to go in .

We also sorted out our compost heaps, Lovell Industries donated lots of pellets to built around our compost heaps , it looks a lot neater and is easier to control. Thanks Allison.

I am looking for some body who knows about water tanks, our tanks are connected to the borehole, but I have a problem that when the tank is full, it still keeps pumping water up and ofcourse the tanks overflow, a lot of waste of water but it also damages the brick work around the tanks. As far as I know we need something like a floater in the tank that will warn the pump when the tank is full and then stops pumping. It would be great if there was any body out there who could give me some advice on this!!
