Septic tanks and drainage in Eastern Cape
Large parts of the Eastern Cape sit off the sewer, from Wild Coast villages and rural homesteads around Mthatha to farms near Graaff-Reinet and holiday homes along the Sunshine Coast. Coastal sand and a high water table around Jeffreys Bay, Port Alfred and Kenton-on-Sea flood soakaways, so conservancy tanks and package plants are common. Inland Karoo farms use septic tanks and french drains that rarely get rain to wash them. Schools and clinics in rural areas need scheduled pump-outs, and factories around Kariega and Coega need bulk removal. Honey sucker operators and tank suppliers are based mainly in Gqeberha and East London, so distant jobs cost more.
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
- Schools, churches and clinics: scheduled supply for schools and clinics, with safety data sheets on file
- Farms and game farms: bulk bacteria for worker housing tanks and farm kitchens that produce a lot of grease
- 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
- Factories, mines, sites and events: drums of treatment for site ablution tanks and temporary camps
- Restaurants, shops and offices: regular products for tanks and grease lines at restaurants and takeaways
