Verloren Estate - Dung beetles rule in Bela Bela

We offered Verloren Estate - near Bela Bela - a simple and reliable wastewater plant, and they took 40 of them.

Verloren Estate - Carefree living with Nature

You wont find many references for our achievements in the public domain . . until now. We were just happy, doing our thing, without much fuss. Quietly keeping clients happy, the environment safe and their groundwater clean.

We often felt that we don't need to brag about how successful we are, and we haven't. It is only times like this that we consolidate our past efforts, to fully view what we have achieved.

And proudly so.

A great example is Verloren Estate, a delightful South African upmarket game reserve approximately halfway between Bela Bela and Modimolle, in Limpopo province.

" . . . is a stunning area known for its eco-friendly living and serene surroundings. It's a testament to sustainable development, emphasizing harmony with nature while providing a high-quality lifestyle. From bush-veld landscapes to innovative architectural designs, promotes eco-conscious living without compromising comfort."

To see an off-grid development that actually walks the talk on sustainability — instead of just slapping a solar panel on the roof and calling it a day. It’s about time we had more projects thinking beyond today's profit and actually giving a hoot about the planet. And who knows, maybe seeing this will guilt a few more folks into reconsidering where they fit into nature.

Eco game estates with sound, eco-friendly and simple sewage solutions

This eco-estate is delicately placed on over 1000 hectares, and one dwelling has no sight of the next. Wild game roam freely on the property, and the developers were particularly concerned about the negative human factor on the environment.

Our wastewater plants were chosen for its reliability and ease of operation, which removes any possibility of ground water contamination, in this perfect nature reserve.

Once our easy to understand, simple sewage system had established a reputation here, the Verloren Estate developers specified our wastewater treatment solutions exclusively for all new homes. Over a period of about 4 or 5 years, 40 systems were installed on the properties of individual home owners. A clear endorsement of our product.

Water Saving and reuse - 80 000 litres daily

All water for Verloren estate comes from several boreholes, and sewage ingress was avoided. There is a concerted effort to promote rain-water harvesting. On average, there is 80 000 litres of recycled wastewater produced every day, which is "refreshed" and used for a variety of secondary purposes, including pool filling, gardens, washing cars and discharge directly into the environment.

Over the past 10 years, we have recycled over 292 million litres of water here.

The area is very dry during the winter season, and the recycled sewage / wastewater from our systems are welcomed by all those who live here, particularly as a fire reserve.

Holiday loading

Whilst many homes here have permanent occupation, there are a number of properties which are considered holiday homes, and weekend treats / retreats, which often create abnormal loading (ie no load for 5 days / full load for 2). We understand this, and offered the developers added value to ensure performance throughout the load variation.

Fun Fact - Did you know pets are welcome here too?
