21st Dam – Update 16/12
We are pleased to share that the issues with the 21st dam have been successfully resolved. The cause of the leak was identified as a redundant pipe, which has since been addressed and capped.
Although this was a less-than-desired event, we are happy to report that it has been resolved swiftly and with minimal consequence. The repair was completed early last week, and recent rainfall has already refilled the dam, ensuring it is back to full functionality.

We wish to inform you about a maintenance issue concerning the 21st dam. Approximately two weeks ago, a leak was identified, prompting immediate monitoring and consultation with engineers to assess the situation. The source of the leak has been located at the current waterline. This issue is not what we expected to encounter after nearly seven years of service. However, we are seeking expert advice to determine the best course of action to resolve it effectively and ensure the dam’s ongoing integrity and functionality.
It is anticipated that the water reserves in the 15th dam, along with the residual water in the 21st dam, combined with the wet summer conditions we have experienced, should ensure that the necessary repairs can be undertaken without any notable interruptions to the irrigation program. We appreciate your understanding and patience as we work diligently to address this matter. As progress is made, we will share further updates. Thank you for your continued support.
