Utilities Plant

Pecanwood estate water and sewer reticulation is self maintained. A Utilities plant is situated on the southern side of the estate supplying potable water to the estate as well as to the Pecanwood collage. 3x 1 000 000 liter sewer reactors process the sewer and the gray water is reintroduced into the lakes on the estate. This water in turn is utilized for irrigation purposes.

Water quality is of utmost importance and thus our water and sewer gets tested on a daily basis by the operating staff at the utilities plant. Monthly laboratories tests are conducted by an independent lab appointed by Prentec and quarterly tests are conducted by Clean stream on both the potable as well as irrigation water.
