Septic tanks and drainage in Eastern Cape
Large parts of the Eastern Cape sit off the sewer, from Wild Coast villages and rural homesteads around Mthatha to farms near Graaff-Reinet and holiday homes along the Sunshine Coast. Coastal sand and a high water table around Jeffreys Bay, Port Alfred and Kenton-on-Sea flood soakaways, so conservancy tanks and package plants are common. Inland Karoo farms use septic tanks and french drains that rarely get rain to wash them. Schools and clinics in rural areas need scheduled pump-outs, and factories around Kariega and Coega need bulk removal. Honey sucker operators and tank suppliers are based mainly in Gqeberha and East London, so distant jobs cost more.
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
- Schools, churches and clinics: large tanks for schools and churches, repaired during school holidays
- Farms and game farms: rings and tanks for worker housing, built with local labour and materials
- 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
- Factories, mines, sites and events: heavy-duty tanks for depots and works where trucks pass over the lids
- Restaurants, shops and offices: a heavy tank behind a shop or garage, often under a parking area
