A new reservoir for robertson

Langeberg Municipality is nearing the end of the construction of a new reservoir in Bo-Dorp, Robertson. The R23-million project, which started in March 2022, included site clearing, earthworks, layer works, pipe trenching, pipe bedding and the construction of the 3.0 megalitre concrete reservoir.

According to Maynard Johnson, Director: Engineering Service, the goal of the project is to ensure that the necessary, minimum water storage capacity of 48 hours is available for future new development in the area. The reservoir is located next to an existing reservoir to allow for the necessary pressure needed. It can also be fed from the existing water network.

The completion of this project allows for the further development of the Bo-Dorp, Robertson and the construction of more houses in the area as the municipal water infrastructure will have the required capacity.
