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.
