Septic tanks and drainage in Durban
Most of Durban is on the municipal sewer, so septic and conservancy tanks matter in the pockets that are not: older homes on the Bluff and in parts of Westville, new developments on the northern and western edges, and plots in Hillcrest and Waterfall. Sandy coastal ground and a high water table mean soakaways saturate quickly after summer storms, and many sites use sealed conservancy tanks instead. Restaurants and hotels along the beachfront and in Umhlanga need regular grease trap and tank clearing. Honey sucker operators work from the southern basin, Pinetown and the North Coast, and the municipal works accepts loads at designated disposal points.
Typical portable toilet hire requests in the area come from:
- Houses: a unit or two for a renovation or a garden party at an off-sewer house
- Estates and complexes: units for contractors working inside the estate during building or repairs
- Restaurants, shops and offices: units for a shop fit-out, pop-up market or outdoor trade show
- Lodges, guesthouses and venues: VIP units for weddings and conferences that exceed the lodge's own toilets
- Factories, mines, sites and events: serviced units for a construction camp, plant shutdown or mine site
- Smallholdings and plots: extra toilets for a wedding, market day or build on a smallholding
- Schools, churches and clinics: temporary toilets for a school sports day or church conference
