Garden Route Septic Tank Installations: Wilderness

Frequently Asked Questions

Does being near the Wilderness lakes system change what kind of system a property can install?

It can. Properties close to the lakes or wetland areas often have a higher water table and more sensitive soil conditions, which is exactly what a percolation test is for. In some cases a sealed conservancy tank is the safer, compliant choice over a standard soakaway.

Is Wilderness mostly full-time homes or holiday properties?

It's a genuine mix, with a meaningful share of retirees and full-time residents alongside holiday homes, which is different from some of the more purely seasonal towns nearby. We size against your property's actual use pattern rather than assuming one or the other.
