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.
Typical sewage treatment plants requests in the area come from:
- Houses: rarely used at a house; a septic tank or biodigester is normally enough
- Lodges, guesthouses and venues: a plant sized for peak guest numbers, reusing water on lawns in dry regions
- Smallholdings and plots: a small plant for a large smallholding with several homes and heavy use
- Estates and complexes: a package plant for a whole estate, with treated water used on common gardens
- Farms and game farms: a plant for worker housing and a packhouse, with treated water for irrigation
- Restaurants, shops and offices: a plant for a mall, hotel or filling station away from the sewer network
- Schools, churches and clinics: a plant for a boarding school, clinic or hospital with steady, large flows
