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 septic tank chemicals requests in the area come from:
- Farms and game farms: bulk bacteria for worker housing tanks and farm kitchens that produce a lot of grease
- Houses: a bacteria starter after a pump-out and a monthly tablet to keep the tank settled
- Smallholdings and plots: enzyme treatment for a large tank, with a pump-out still planned every few years
- Restaurants, shops and offices: regular products for tanks and grease lines at restaurants and takeaways
- Factories, mines, sites and events: drums of treatment for site ablution tanks and temporary camps
- Lodges, guesthouses and venues: enzyme dosing to cope with seasonal peaks and laundry water
- Schools, churches and clinics: scheduled supply for schools and clinics, with safety data sheets on file
