Septic tanks and drainage in Richards Bay
Richards Bay is a planned port town, with Meerensee, Arboretum and the industrial zones on the municipal sewer. Beyond that, Empangeni, Esikhaleni, Felixton and the Mtunzini area still lean on septic tanks, conservancy tanks and pit systems. The ground is flat and sandy with a high water table near the lagoons, estuaries and wetlands, so traditional soakaways flood and many owners choose sealed tanks or raised drainage. Humid summers and heavy rain make overflows common. Lodges and guesthouses along the coast, and cane farms inland, need regular pump-outs. Honey sucker operators are based in Richards Bay and Empangeni, and often cover the whole uMhlathuze area.
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
- Farms and game farms: rings and tanks for worker housing, built with local labour and materials
- Restaurants, shops and offices: a heavy tank behind a shop or garage, often under a parking area
