Septic tanks and drainage in East London
East London has a sewered core, but outlying areas such as Gonubie, parts of Beacon Bay, and the rural Buffalo City edges toward Kidds Beach and Cove Rock use septic and conservancy tanks. The Eastern Cape coast is humid with year-round rain, and heavy summer downpours saturate the clay soils inland and the sandy coastal belt alike. A high water table near the Nahoon and Buffalo rivers often rules out standard soakaways. Mdantsane and Qonce have their own sewer networks and pressures. Honey sucker operators serve the metro from East London itself, and tank suppliers keep stock for plastic and concrete tanks. Holiday lodges peak in December.
Typical concrete septic tanks requests in the area come from:
- Houses: a concrete tank to replace or repair an old two-chamber tank at an off-sewer house
- Lodges, guesthouses and venues: big concrete tanks for chalets, set away from guest areas with good ventilation
- Smallholdings and plots: stacked rings for a smallholding where a crane truck can reach the site
- Restaurants, shops and offices: a heavy tank behind a shop or garage, often under a parking area
- Factories, mines, sites and events: heavy-duty tanks for depots and works where trucks pass over the lids
- Farms and game farms: rings and tanks for worker housing, built with local labour and materials
- Schools, churches and clinics: large tanks for schools and churches, repaired during school holidays
