Septic tanks and drainage in Richards Bay
Richards Bay is a planned port town, with Meerensee, Arboretum and the industrial zones on the municipal sewer. Beyond that, Empangeni, Esikhaleni, Felixton and the Mtunzini area still lean on septic tanks, conservancy tanks and pit systems. The ground is flat and sandy with a high water table near the lagoons, estuaries and wetlands, so traditional soakaways flood and many owners choose sealed tanks or raised drainage. Humid summers and heavy rain make overflows common. Lodges and guesthouses along the coast, and cane farms inland, need regular pump-outs. Honey sucker operators are based in Richards Bay and Empangeni, and often cover the whole uMhlathuze area.

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
- Lodges, guesthouses and venues: VIP units for weddings and conferences that exceed the lodge's own toilets
- Farms and game farms: chemical units in the lands for seasonal workers, or VIP units for a farm wedding
- Restaurants, shops and offices: units for a shop fit-out, pop-up market or outdoor trade show
- 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
