Hidden treasure

David & Bob Stewart were born in Forrester’s cottage. They also just happened to be the local experts on matters to do with drainage. Their company is based at Ceres a mile or so away and what they don’t know about the flow of water in “golf field” is not worth knowing. We are extremely lucky to have their knowledge and support at such a time. Our picture shows them at one of six inspection covers installed many years ago at the ends of a “soak-away”. It transpires that five of the covers had already been broken up by ploughing. Nobody has ever used them and they have been technically superfluous to requirements.
The Stewarts have carried out the second job to make way for the digger and taken away 15 inches of concrete and brick as well as ensuring that the soakaway performs more efficiently than it did previously.
