A Door in the Mountains
Elandsberg Water Seepage Tunnel
The structure was completed on the 6th August 1991 and is a true replica of the unique underground tunnel that delivers pure drinking water to the community.
The first phase of 86 meters was built during 1910 and was lengthened by 66 meters during 1941. It was built using mainly manual labour.
The antique crane was used to remove excess material from the excavation site. The seepage tunnel was excavated under the riverbed and the water level there is approximately 4 to 4.8 meters under the surface of the ground.
