Bindoon is a town 84 kilometres from Perth city on the Great Northern Highway in between Bullsbrook and Gingin within the Shire of Chittering. The name Bindoon is thought to be Aboriginal in origin and to mean “place where the yams grow”.
For over 30 years, Pioneer Water Tanks have been a premier water tank supplier for Bindoon and surrounding areas in the Chittering Valley.
Bindoon and the Chittering Valley is seen by many who live in Perth or interstate – particularly those who only visit in early spring – as an area of beautiful green hills with creeks and wineries, but people who live in the region know it is an expansive rural community with valuable grazing and crop industries, and it can endure long dry spells through the summer.
Pioneer Water Tank owners in Bindoon can take comfort in the knowledge they have the backing of Australia’s leading big tank manufacturer.
Bindoon has an inland Mediterranean climate, which is kept greener by the creeks and rivers in the area.
Bindoon experiences hot summers, and typically cold winters, regularly dropping below freezing – however on warmer winter days it has been known to exceed 30 degrees. The average rainfall for the area is 632.3mm.
Bindoon is famous for its wineries and orchards, with the primary school’s logo featuring grapes and an orange tree, however the region is populated with many graziers, and the town hosts an annual agricultural show.
Whilst rainfall is an appreciated sight all over this dry nation of ours, evolving weather conditions triggering heavy storms – coupled with modern infrastructure such as bitumen and concrete – often result in the build-up of water and flash flooding, which can cause damage to property and the environment.
The installation of a rainwater tank can be a great tool in helping to prevent damaging water runoff, and aid stormwater systems.
In the event of an unexpected storm, resulting in 150mm of rainfall in just 24 hours, it would take just 100 houses with water tanks and sufficient guttering to prevent 3 million litres of stormwater runoff from entering storm drains and roads, or potentially causing Lake Chittering or the Brockman River to burst their banks.
Although the area is popular for its spectacular coastlines and farmland, the Chittering Region – like much of Western Australia – is prone to widespread bushfires in the dry summer heat, when grasses and greenery lose their water.
It is important in any rural setting to ensure that you are doing the most you can to protect yourself from bushfires. You can do this by making sure that you have a bushfire action plan, in addition to sufficient water storage for fire fighting purposes.
To ensure your water tank can be used for both household or property water storage, and fire protection, Pioneer Water Tanks offers the option of a fire reserve.
When the Bushfire and National Hazards CRC together with the CSIRO performed bushfire simulations on a range of water tanks, a steel Pioneer Water Tank held up best.
After 30 minutes of submersion in flame, the Pioneer Water Tank continued to hold water, a crucial feature for firefighting efforts, while the other tanks tested either melted or split, causing their water to be partially or fully lost.
After a fire front has passed, the water in your tank can still be used for non-consumptive purposes, like watering your gardens, however, it is highly recommended that you get your water tested as soon as possible to ensure your water is safe before using it for food preparation or drinking.
