Slagtersnek vandag

Slagtersnek

Slagtersnek is an old railway siding consisting of approximately 9 houses situated on privately owned property owned by Spoornet with a population of approximately 65 people, and lies approximately 7 km north of Cookhouse.

Existing Infrastructure

The establishment was supplied with water from overhead tanks during the operation of steam trains, but this water supply has since ceased.

Water resources

Groundwater is considered the most economical sustainable water source when compared with the cost of sourcing raw water from the nearby Great Fish River.
