Septic tanks and drainage in Mbombela
Mbombela has a warm, wet subtropical climate, and that shapes septic work as much as the sewer map does. Suburbs such as West Acres and Sonheuwel are on mains, but White River, Rocky Drift, Karino and the citrus and macadamia farms use septic tanks and soakaways. Decomposed granite and red loam drain reasonably on the slopes, while low ground near the Crocodile and Sand rivers has a high water table that floods soakaways in the rainy season. Guesthouses and lodges on the road to Hazyview run package treatment plants and conservancy tanks with large seasonal loads. Operators and tank suppliers are based in the Riverside and Nelspruit industrial areas.
Typical septic tank design requests in the area come from:
- Smallholdings and plots: a larger tank and field layout for a smallholding with several buildings
- Lodges, guesthouses and venues: sizing for peak guest numbers and laundry, often with a treatment plant
- Farms and game farms: separate designs for the farmhouse and worker housing with different loads
- Houses: sizing a tank by bedrooms for a new house or an extension that adds bathrooms
- Estates and complexes: a design for shared tanks or one tank per unit, to meet the estate rules
- Restaurants, shops and offices: layouts for kitchens and staff toilets that add fat and a heavier load
- Schools, churches and clinics: large multi-chamber tanks for schools and clinics, with signed drawings
