Septic tanks and drainage in Pietermaritzburg
Pietermaritzburg has a large sewered core, but suburbs on the edge, smallholdings around Ashburton and Hilton and farms in the Midlands rely on septic tanks and soakaways. The city sits in a hollow, and its clay and shale soils drain slowly, so heavy summer thunderstorms can overload drainage fields and push effluent to the surface. Schools, churches and rural clinics often run older conservancy tanks that need scheduled pump-outs. Honey sucker operators work from Mkondeni and Willowton and cover the road to Howick, while tank suppliers in the city stock plastic and concrete tanks. Sandstone outcrops can make digging a new trench slow.
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
- Smallholdings and plots: extra toilets for a wedding, market day or build on a smallholding
- Farms and game farms: chemical units in the lands for seasonal workers, or VIP units for a farm wedding
- Schools, churches and clinics: temporary toilets for a school sports day or church conference
- Lodges, guesthouses and venues: VIP units for weddings and conferences that exceed the lodge's own toilets
- Restaurants, shops and offices: units for a shop fit-out, pop-up market or outdoor trade show
- Estates and complexes: units for contractors working inside the estate during building or repairs
