Septic tanks and drainage in Mthatha
Mthatha is the main town of the former Transkei, and large parts of its area are not on a reliable sewer. Homes in Southernwood, Fort Gale and Norwood are served by the municipal system, while hillside homes, newer developments, Ngangelizwe's edges and rural settlements toward Libode, Qunu and Mqanduli use septic tanks, pit toilets and conservancy tanks. The soil is clay on steep hillsides, and summer rains are heavy, so drainage fields can slip or overflow. Honey sucker operators are fewer here, and many travel in from the larger Eastern Cape centres. Always ask where the load will be dumped, as works capacity is limited.
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
- Smallholdings and plots: a 5,000 to 6,000 L tank carried to a smallholding with rough access
- Schools, churches and clinics: larger ribbed tanks for small schools and clinics on rural sites
- Restaurants, shops and offices: ribbed tanks for small shops and offices where no sewer exists
- 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
- Estates and complexes: matching ribbed tanks for several units, delivered together
