Drainage, sewage & dewatering in George: local notes
Holiday homes and estates around Wilderness, Herold's Bay and Victoria Bay use pool pumps, and many sit far from the sewer, so small sewage pump stations are common. Heavy coastal storms flood low ground near the Touws River and in parts of Pacaltsdorp and Thembalethu, and drainage pumps are hired after big rain. Building sites in sandy coastal ground sometimes need dewatering before foundations go in.
George: the properties, the water and the pump shops
George lies on a plateau between the Outeniqua Mountains and the sea, and rain falls through most of the year, yet the town has still been hit by serious droughts that dropped the Garden Route Dam low and led to restrictions. Many homes in Blanco, Heatherlands and on smallholdings outside town have since added tanks, rainwater harvesting and boreholes. Dairy, hops and vegetable farms in the district irrigate from dams, rivers and boreholes. Water from the mountain catchments is often stained brown by fynbos, which is natural. Holiday homes in Wilderness and Herold's Bay run pools and pressure pumps, and sandy coastal ground brings dewatering work. Pump shops and rewinders are in the George industrial area off the main roads.
Typical sewage pumps requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: a basement bathroom or granny flat below the street sewer pumped up to the connection
- Farms: staff housing and ablutions far from the main line served by a single sewage pump
- Smallholdings and plots: a cottage or farm house waste lifted to a septic system on higher ground
