    Kathie I know someone once told me if you take the Malibongwe road out towards Hartes, there's apparently a spot about 2/3rds of the way there that you can stop and pick it up. But I have NO clue where. Just remembered someone mentioning it here on TASA a few months back

    on some days the dam looks as green as a golf course!!!! and smells as bad as can be, and still the stinking rich thinks its glorius to build there mansions on the stinking ridges next to the dam, if u're driving from lanseria via broederstroom to harties, and u close your nose and open u're eyes its the most amazing sunset acros the dam over the magaliesberg, and then the smell hits u on some days:mad::mad:

    Derrick - we can basically treat any body of waste water where COD, BOD, Amonia, biological silt etc etc etc is the problem.
