Septic tanks and drainage in Mpumalanga
Mpumalanga splits into Highveld and Lowveld, and both have many properties off the sewer. Around eMalahleni, Middelburg and Ermelo, farms and smallholdings use septic tanks and french drains, while mining and power sites need bulk pump-outs. In the Lowveld near Mbombela, White River and Hazyview, lodges, guesthouses and citrus and macadamia farms run package treatment plants and conservancy tanks that are busiest in school holidays. Steep escarpment plots drain quickly but risk polluting streams, and heavy summer thunderstorms can flood soakaways. Honey sucker operators mostly work from Mbombela, eMalahleni and Middelburg, so remote lodges and farms may pay extra for travel time.
Typical JoJo septic tanks requests in the area come from:
- Farms and game farms: tanks for the homestead and worker housing, light enough to move by bakkie
- 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
- Houses: a 2,500 to 5,000 L ribbed tank for a house, fitted in a day or two
- Factories, mines, sites and events: quick to fit tanks for site offices and camps
- Estates and complexes: matching ribbed tanks for several units, delivered together
- Schools, churches and clinics: larger ribbed tanks for small schools and clinics on rural sites
