Toilets

Disposal Points
The Caravan Club has decreed that waste water disposal filters contravene our exemption under the Water Resources Act, 1993, and therefore must not be used at rallies. Disposal points for chemical toilets and waste water and NOTHING ELSE will be clearly marked. ON NO ACCOUNT MUST MEMBERS WASH TOILET CONTAINERS AND WASTE WATER BUCKETS AT THE WATER POINT.

marshal.
