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.

- Houses: a bacteria starter after a pump-out and a monthly tablet to keep the tank settled
- Lodges, guesthouses and venues: enzyme dosing to cope with seasonal peaks and laundry water
- Smallholdings and plots: enzyme treatment for a large tank, with a pump-out still planned every few years
- Estates and complexes: a dosing plan for shared tanks, delivered by the supplier on a schedule
- Farms and game farms: bulk bacteria for worker housing tanks and farm kitchens that produce a lot of grease
- Restaurants, shops and offices: regular products for tanks and grease lines at restaurants and takeaways
