Water:
'Biwondah' is developed with an extensive water system. A new bore was drilled in February 2013 and is equipped with a Yanmar diesel Gen Set motor powering a submersible pump. The pump is set at 70 metres down and sits 7 metres off the bottom with a pumping capacity of 5,000L/hour (1,150g/hour). The system is set up to start on a time clock and shut off with a pressure switch.
The bore pumps to an elevated 160,000L (35,000g) tank with approximately 4 kilometers of new 2inch green stripe poly pipe (installed in 30/11/2015). The tank gravity feeds 16 stock troughs through 1.5 inch green stripe poly. The header tank also gravity feeds 5,500gal tank on the dam behind the sheds which equipped with a pressure pump which feeds the garden and toilets and also has a quick fill pump station for spraying (pressure pump can also draw water from the dam). Stock water is also supplemented by 4 x earth dams.
Domestic water is sourced from 4 x rainwater tanks:
- 2 x 22,800L cement tanks
- 1 x 20,800L poly tank
- 1 x 12,500L poly tank
- Total 56,100 Litres
The toilets are on bore/dam water.
