Blanchetown WDS Closure
The Blanchetown Waste Disposal Station (WDS) is closed for
rebuilding. It is expected that this site will be closed
until some time in July-August. Apparently, it is possible
to book a local contractor to pump out out your vessel and
it will be charged to the government. More details as they
come to hand.
