Septic tanks and drainage in East London
East London has a sewered core, but outlying areas such as Gonubie, parts of Beacon Bay, and the rural Buffalo City edges toward Kidds Beach and Cove Rock use septic and conservancy tanks. The Eastern Cape coast is humid with year-round rain, and heavy summer downpours saturate the clay soils inland and the sandy coastal belt alike. A high water table near the Nahoon and Buffalo rivers often rules out standard soakaways. Mdantsane and Qonce have their own sewer networks and pressures. Honey sucker operators serve the metro from East London itself, and tank suppliers keep stock for plastic and concrete tanks. Holiday lodges peak in December.
Typical septic tank chemicals requests in the area come from:
- Houses: a bacteria starter after a pump-out and a monthly tablet to keep the tank settled
- Lodges, guesthouses and venues: enzyme dosing to cope with seasonal peaks and laundry water
- Smallholdings and plots: enzyme treatment for a large tank, with a pump-out still planned every few years
- Restaurants, shops and offices: regular products for tanks and grease lines at restaurants and takeaways
- Factories, mines, sites and events: drums of treatment for site ablution tanks and temporary camps
- Farms and game farms: bulk bacteria for worker housing tanks and farm kitchens that produce a lot of grease
- Schools, churches and clinics: scheduled supply for schools and clinics, with safety data sheets on file
