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 installation requests in the area come from:
- Houses: a new tank and drainage field for a house built or extended away from the sewer
- Factories, mines, sites and events: site tanks for construction camps and workshops, installed to a set programme
- Farms and game farms: separate systems for the homestead and worker housing, kept clear of boreholes
- Smallholdings and plots: a full system on a smallholding, with a larger field and a long pipe run
- Restaurants, shops and offices: approved systems for shops, restaurants and offices outside the sewer network
- Schools, churches and clinics: large tanks for schools and clinics, with plans signed off by a professional
