Wine and fruit farms around Stellenbosch, Paarl, Worcester and Ceres use septic tanks, french drains and plants that struggle during harvest season peaks. Garden Route homes and lodges in George, Knysna and Plettenberg Bay sit on wet, steep ground near estuaries and lagoons, where regulators watch discharge closely. Honey sucker operators and tank suppliers work from Montague Gardens, Bellville, Paarl and George.
