Located just outside of Ballito, in KwaZulu-Natal, the 480-hectare Fairview Estates has set out to offer homeowners an opportunity to return to traditional farm living or homesteading within a secure, eco-conscious development. Balancing the need for modern amenities and convenience with spacious and sustainable living, Fairview Estates contacted SBS® Tanks to install a water tank for the storage of safe drinking water.
The steel panel tank, manufactured and installed by SBS Tanks, will provide the estate with storage for 300,000 litres of drinking water. Fairview Estates taps into groundwater from multiple boreholes on the estate. This water is fed into a settling tank and through an onsite filtration plant before being stored in the bulk water storage tank from SBS Tanks.
SBS Tanks are ideally suited for the storage of potable water (drinking water). The secure roof structure, with a lockable access hatch and ladder, prevents the influx of debris, leaves or dust and unauthorised access to the water stored within the tank. A potable water-safe liner or bladder, fitted within the steel panel tank structure, ensures that the water does not come into contact with the steel structure of the tank. This not only maintains the condition of the clean, filtered water but adds an additional layer of corrosion protection to the tank.
Confident that their water supply is secure, Fairview estate farmers can live off the grid and enjoy sustainable ‘farm to fork’ living, growing their own produce and living off their land.
Does your residential estate require a backup, borehole or bulk water storage tank to protect your water supply? Whether you plan to be completely off-grid or remain connected to municipal water, but need water security for your residential – or business – development, SBS Tanks can assist.
