The Container House

Nice Carp caught today at The Container House. Well done Francois.
Probably the biggest Carp caught in the area. Unfortunately he did not have a big enough scale to measure the weight. Any guesses?

The recent floods along the Vaal River caused major damage to many houses and properties along the River. The Vaal River was at its highest level for many years. The Vaal dam opened 12 sluice gates to relieve pressure at the dam. There was a huge amount of water coming in from Standerton to an already full dam. The Vaal dam rose to 119%, which is the highest recorded level. The flow from the 12 sluice gates raised the level of the river significantly, however heavy rains from other areas flowing into the Vaal River caused the damage. As this extra water was unexpected and uncontrolled as there are no dams along the way, the level of the River increased rapidly on the 18th and 19th Feb 2023.
The following are some pictures showing the level of the water at The Container House. The Container House suffered no damage.

We have just completed building our large whirlpool bath. The whirlpool bath can seat 14 people comfortably with another 8 standing. The whirlpool bath is heated enabling one to enjoy the streaming water and air bubbles 24 hours a day. The whirlpool bath overlooks the Vaal River and with a beautiful sunset over the river, one could not wish for a better end to a busy day.
