Irrigation Schedule

The Langeberg Municipality operates an irrigation channel system, whereby water is fed to properties with irrigation water rights, as stipulated in the title deeds of the erven.  The irrigation system operates seasonally from September to May each year, in accordance with the schedule below.

Irrigation Water Schedule

Irrigation water is re-instated for Robertson and McGregor as follows:

  • Robertson: Weekly from Monday, 06 October 2025
