We offer
Although it adds to the cost of our service, we obtain our water from sustainable sources as boreholes to ensure we do not waste the precious water our city so desperately needs to preserve.
Did you know that the high pressure cleaners use up to 80% less water per minute than a garden hose? This is because we make use of special nozzles to speed up the cleaning process. As far as possible we avoid using non-biodegradable chemicals and those which may be harmful to people, wildlife, insects or vegetation.
Sustainability eco frienlinessCommunication
Happy or not, we want to know. If we can improve our service to you in any way we would like you in any way we would like you to speak to us openly and we will do our best to make sure you are a very happy client.

WHAT IS STRESS?
Stress is a normal reaction the body has when changes occur, resulting in physical, emotional and intellectual responses. Stress is a normal human reaction that happens to everyone. In fact, the human body is designed to experience stress and react to it. Stress responses help your body adjust to new situations. Stress can be positive, keeping us alert, motivated and ready to avoid danger. But stress becomes a problem when stressors continue without relief or periods of relaxation.
WHAT HAPPENS TO THE BODY DURING STRESS?
The body’s autonomic nervous system controls your heart rate, breathing, vision changes and more. Its built-in stress response, the “fight-or-flight response,” helps the body face stressful situations.
When a person has long-term (chronic) stress, continued activation of the stress response causes wear and tear on the body. Physical, emotional and behavioral symptoms develop.
PHYSICAL SYMPTOMS
• Aches and pains
• Chest pain or a feeling like your heart is racing
• Exhaustion or trouble sleeping
• Headaches, dizziness or shaking
• Stomach or digestive problems
• Weak immune system
EMOTIONAL AND MENTAL SYMPTOMS
• Anxiety or irritability
• Depression
• Panic attacks
• Sadness
WHAT ARE SOME STRATEGIES FOR STRESS RELIEF?
You can’t avoid stress, but you can stop it from becoming overwhelming by practicing some daily strategies:
1. Exercise when you feel symptoms of stress coming on. Even a short walk can boost your mood.
2. At the end of each day, take a moment to think about what you’ve accomplished — not what you didn’t get done.
3. Set goals for your day, week and month. Narrowing your view will help you feel more in control of the moment and long-term tasks.
4. Consider talking to a therapist or your healthcare provider about your worries.
HOW LONG DOES STRESS LAST?
Stress can be a short-term issue or a long-term problem, depending on what changes in your life. Regularly using stress management techniques can help you avoid most physical, emotional and behavioral symptoms of stress.
POWER AND WATER SECURITY SOLUTIONS IN ST FRANCIS BAY POWER AND WATER SECURITY SOLUTIONS IN ST FRANCIS BAY
We all know that our area will have power and water shortages for the foreseeable future. We cannot rely on Eskom for power or our dams to supply sufficient water. The only way to fix these problems is to climb in and fix them ourselves.
The St Francis Property Owners Association will soon publish a digital booklet of solar power and water harvesting solutions to enable homeowners to secure their own energy and water supplies.
Then, to supplement the power and water security solutions, the SFPO has also researched various power and water-saving devices, including gas geysers, electric geyser controllers, water tap restrictors and LED lights.
This booklet will also contain information on potential tax savings and insurance considerations. In addition, there are details of a coordination and administration service and a list of recommended suppliers.
