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 grease trap cleaning requests in the area come from:
- Farms and game farms: traps at farm kitchens, worker canteens and packing sheds that cook for many people
- Houses: a small under-sink trap at a home business kitchen or a granny flat with a full kitchen
- Smallholdings and plots: a trap on a farm stall, deli or catering kitchen run from a smallholding
- Restaurants, shops and offices: frequent cleaning of restaurant, takeaway and food court traps to meet by-laws and landlords
- Factories, mines, sites and events: large traps at food factories and staff canteens with a waste slip for each visit
- Lodges, guesthouses and venues: heavy-use traps at lodge and venue kitchens that peak during weddings and holiday seasons
- Schools, churches and clinics: scheduled cleaning of school, hospital and church hall kitchen traps, often in the holidays
