As you are aware, last year we had a bore hole drilled to provide the site with free water. We also put in a system to allow orchard owners to be able to access water. The system we put in was gravity fed and has led to some issues for owners, we are therefore going to install a new watering system that will be pump driven. This will help us to be able to water trees much faster and with less work, it does however mean that clients will not be able to access water from the new pumped system. (As it requires a generator to be used to run the pumps).

We are therefore going to install 300 litre water containers at the end of each pathway that clients can use to obtain water for their orchards. These containers will be kept full using our new watering system. We will start installing these together with our new system in June and we expect the water containers to be installed and ready for use by middle of June.
