Pump Outs out of action

[Actionmat]

With Mapledurham and Shiplake out of order(and according to the EA website 'until further notice'), what are the alternatives? (apart from a bucket and chuck it). Where are the nearest privately owned places for a pump out and how much do they charge?

Thanks & Kennet marina, in between the two, has pump out and Elsan. Not sure on cost (as a berth holder I get it free)

Cheers. It looks like Caversham Cruisers do too(and they sell fuel)

And Bourne End Marina I think they charge circa £21.00

Ah yes of course - never think of them as they're so close! T&K sell fuel as well, as does Better Boating which is just downstream of Caversham lock - think it's 89p self declared at the moment.

£19 at Caversham Boat Services. Stung a bit yesterday as I only have a 42L tank and didn't use their chemicals.

£19 sounds a lot, but Caversham aren't connected to the sewers, the waste has to be pumped into a tank and carried off for disposal. Not so at Bourne End, which is a rip off.
