PROJECT - "WATERFALL"  

In order to secure drinking water of high standard for Nature's Valley the NVRA in partnership with the Bitou municipality has embarked on a project named "Waterfall" to ensure that the water purification plant installed and maintained by  "Afrox" is handed over to Bitou in first class condition.

The project objective statement reads as follows:
To ensure that potable water of the highest quality as was delivered by the Nature's Valley water purification plant initially is delivered on a continuous basis and to ensure that the current system is repaired and upgraded that when Afrox hands over the plant to Bitou at the end of 2007 it would run for a reasonable time without serious problems and be managed by a trained team to the satisfaction of the community and run hastle free and economically by Bitou.
 

PROJECT - "SAVE THE FOREST"

"ARCHITECTURAL GUIDELINES"

"Heading out of Cape Town, most visitors take the scenic Garden Route, so named because of its lush vegetation. It's a pretty dull four hour drive to the town of George -- the first notable town along the route, but then after that it improves dramatically. The scenic lagoon town of Knysna is a bit of a tourist trap, and seems more Swiss than South African. Most visitors return to Cape Town after George or Knysna, and so miss the most beautiful part of the route, including the ruggedly beautiful Tsitsikamma national park, the adventure center of Storms River Mouth and Nature's Valley, which -- as its name suggests -- is paradise on earth and hasn't changed since we spent part of our honeymoon there 10 years ago."
