Septic tanks and drainage in George
George sits between the Outeniqua mountains and the coast, with Blanco, Heatherlands and Pacaltsdorp on the sewer and many Wilderness, Hoekwil, Karatara and outlying holdings on septic tanks or conservancy tanks. Rain falls all year, so soils stay wet and soakaways have little chance to dry out. Wilderness has sandy ground and a high water table near lakes and the Touw River, and sealed tanks or raised mounds are common. Sloping clay on the northern side drains slowly. Guesthouses and lodges along the Garden Route add seasonal loads. Honey sucker operators work from George, with Mossel Bay and Knysna trucks covering the edges.
