Septic tanks and drainage in KwaZulu-Natal
KwaZulu-Natal has a humid, wet climate, steep hills and a high water table near the coast, all of which strain septic systems. Outside Durban and Pietermaritzburg's sewered areas, rural homesteads, smallholdings in the Midlands and Hillcrest area, and lodges along the Drakensberg and the North and South Coasts use septic tanks, conservancy tanks and package plants. Coastal sand floods soakaways in heavy summer rain, so many properties use sealed conservancy tanks instead. Sugar cane and timber farms add worker housing tanks, and industrial sites around Durban and Richards Bay need bulk removal. Honey sucker operators and tank suppliers work from greater Durban, Pietermaritzburg and Richards Bay.
Typical JoJo septic tanks requests in the area come from:
- Houses: a 2,500 to 5,000 L ribbed tank for a house, fitted in a day or two
- Lodges, guesthouses and venues: 8,000 to 10,000 L tanks or pairs in series for guest numbers
- Smallholdings and plots: a 5,000 to 6,000 L tank carried to a smallholding with rough access
- Estates and complexes: matching ribbed tanks for several units, delivered together
- Farms and game farms: tanks for the homestead and worker housing, light enough to move by bakkie
- Restaurants, shops and offices: ribbed tanks for small shops and offices where no sewer exists
- Factories, mines, sites and events: quick to fit tanks for site offices and camps
- Schools, churches and clinics: larger ribbed tanks for small schools and clinics on rural sites
