I have generally been against the use of holding tanks in predominantly charter cruising areas because it creats hotspots. For example, people will tend to dump in the same place, just outside Road Harbor, Sopers, Nanny Cay or Fat Hog because they forgot to do it earlier and want to avoid an extra charge. Even the more conciencience will dump as they clear the pass out of North Sound and Cane Garden Bay. It is a simple statictical fact.

I may change my mind once I get a chance to verify the capacity and quality of the new Burt Point sewage plant and the new plant at Paraquita Bay comes on line. When that happens there will be no excuse for not having pump out facilaties at all fuel docks on Tortola.
