Septic tanks and drainage in Mbombela
Mbombela has a warm, wet subtropical climate, and that shapes septic work as much as the sewer map does. Suburbs such as West Acres and Sonheuwel are on mains, but White River, Rocky Drift, Karino and the citrus and macadamia farms use septic tanks and soakaways. Decomposed granite and red loam drain reasonably on the slopes, while low ground near the Crocodile and Sand rivers has a high water table that floods soakaways in the rainy season. Guesthouses and lodges on the road to Hazyview run package treatment plants and conservancy tanks with large seasonal loads. Operators and tank suppliers are based in the Riverside and Nelspruit industrial areas.
Typical conservancy tanks requests in the area come from:
- Smallholdings and plots: a holding tank where rock or a high water table rules out a soakaway
- Lodges, guesthouses and venues: big tanks with a high-level alarm for chalets in sensitive areas, emptied on a regular round
- Farms and game farms: a sealed tank near a borehole or river where discharge is not allowed
- Houses: a sealed tank for a house on a small stand where a drainage field will not fit
- Estates and complexes: large linked tanks for a complex awaiting a sewer, with a pump-out schedule
- Restaurants, shops and offices: a holding tank for a shop or filling station with an upstream grease trap
- Schools, churches and clinics: sealed tanks for a school or clinic, sized for the term-time load
