Cesspool and cesspit services in St Mary's Bay
St Mary's Bay runs along the coast between Dymchurch and New Romney, and it is a mix of permanent homes, holiday chalets and seasonal lets. That mix is the thing that shapes the work, because a property used heavily for three months and barely at all for nine puts a very uneven load on a tank.
The ground is low, flat and close to the sea, which is the least forgiving combination there is for an older system.
Working in St Mary's Bay
- Seasonal use means a tank can go from empty to overflowing in weeks, so summer intervals need to be shorter than winter ones.
- A high water table right along this coast, so a cracked tank takes on groundwater as well as waste.
- Salt air is hard on covers, fittings and alarm gear, and we check those every time we are on site.
A seaside village with a seasonal load
St Mary's Bay grew into a seaside village in the twentieth century, and it still mixes permanent homes with holiday chalets, caravan sites and lets. Behind the sea wall the land is reclaimed Marsh, low and flat, with the water table close to the surface for much of the year.
A tank sized for a household living there all year can be swamped by a full holiday let in August. A cesspool that lasts six weeks in March may last two in the summer holidays, so emptying here should follow the bookings rather than the calendar. A treatment plant serving a let has a different problem, because its bacteria fall away while the property stands empty and then struggle with a sudden full house. Treatment plant service and repair in Winchelsea covers how to look after a plant on a coast like this one.
The coast here lies close to the protected sites around Dungeness and Romney Marsh, so a new system that discharges needs checking against the General Binding Rules before it is designed. Salt air is hard on covers, frames and alarm gear, so we check those every visit.
