Septic tanks and drainage in Worcester
Worcester lies in the Breede River valley, and while the town and Avian Park are on the sewer, the surrounding farms, packhouses and smallholdings in Rawsonville, Wolseley, Robertson and De Doorns depend on septic tanks, french drains and conservancy tanks. Summers are hot and dry, winters cold and wet, and the soils are alluvial sand and clay along the river with rocky shale on the slopes. Seasonal worker housing and packhouse loads peak in the grape and fruit harvest, so tank pump-outs go up sharply. Honey sucker operators serve Worcester from the town and cover the valley, and long farm roads add to travel time.
Typical conservancy tank emptying requests in the area come from:
- Farms and game farms: scheduled emptying of sealed tanks near homesteads and staff housing in sensitive ground
- Houses: emptying a sealed tank every few weeks where the stand has no sewer or soakaway
- Smallholdings and plots: regular emptying where the ground cannot take drainage, with fewer visits for big tanks
- Restaurants, shops and offices: frequent emptying for shops and offices in town centres with no sewer link
- Factories, mines, sites and events: emptying holding tanks on building sites and factories where there is no treatment
- Lodges, guesthouses and venues: extra emptying in peak season, with a level alarm to avoid overflows near guests
- Schools, churches and clinics: scheduled collections for schools and churches, with receipts for the records
