1 to 3 : Plumbers and their staff all hard at work on World Plumbing Day .
We also cleaned out the stormwater system , which is a well-designed system – with a hidden underground reservoir that was unbeknown to the school ! We could only get one extra water tank to assist with rainwater harvesting , and with the stormwater catchment , now cleaned and working , the new gutter system can carry water . We measured and estimated that the underground facility can hold 42 000l of water . With this system working , they would be able to water the gardens again . As it was , we had just had 80mm of rain the day before , which would most probably start filling that facility very quickly .
Acting Mayor of Mossel Bay , Dirk Kotze , personally attended the day ’ s activities , and spoke to the plumbers about their worthy cause . He even lent a hand by assisting in installing a geyser ( you can ’ t miss him – he ’ s the well-dressed one , not looking like a plumber at all ).
I presented him with a Plumbing Africa magazine to read , and he was pleasantly surprised with your magazine . [ Thank you , Marius – Editor ]
