Septic tanks and drainage in Kariega
Kariega, still called Uitenhage by many, sits on the Swartkops flats north of Gqeberha. The town centre and Despatch are sewered, but farms and smallholdings around Kruisrivier, Jagersfontein and the Coega side use septic tanks and conservancy tanks. The ground is heavy clay in many areas, which drains slowly, and hot dry summers crack the surface so that the first rains run straight into drainage fields. The motor industry and its suppliers run large industrial sites with grease traps and tanks that need contract pump-outs. Honey sucker operators work from Kariega and Gqeberha, and Kariega trucks can reach farms in the Uitenhage valley.
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
- 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
- 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
- Schools, churches and clinics: scheduled supply for schools and clinics, with safety data sheets on file
