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 installation requests in the area come from:
- Smallholdings and plots: a full system on a smallholding, with a larger field and a long pipe run
- Lodges, guesthouses and venues: larger tanks and fields sized for guest numbers, often with a treatment plant
- Farms and game farms: separate systems for the homestead and worker housing, kept clear of boreholes
- Houses: a new tank and drainage field for a house built or extended away from the sewer
- Estates and complexes: tanks and drainage laid for each stand or shared units before the units are occupied
- 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
