Septic tanks and drainage in Mpumalanga
Mpumalanga splits into Highveld and Lowveld, and both have many properties off the sewer. Around eMalahleni, Middelburg and Ermelo, farms and smallholdings use septic tanks and french drains, while mining and power sites need bulk pump-outs. In the Lowveld near Mbombela, White River and Hazyview, lodges, guesthouses and citrus and macadamia farms run package treatment plants and conservancy tanks that are busiest in school holidays. Steep escarpment plots drain quickly but risk polluting streams, and heavy summer thunderstorms can flood soakaways. Honey sucker operators mostly work from Mbombela, eMalahleni and Middelburg, so remote lodges and farms may pay extra for travel time.
Typical septic tank installation requests in the area come from:
- Farms and game farms: separate systems for the homestead and worker housing, kept clear of boreholes
- Lodges, guesthouses and venues: larger tanks and fields sized for guest numbers, often with a treatment plant
- Smallholdings and plots: a full system on a smallholding, with a larger field and a long pipe run
- 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
- Estates and complexes: tanks and drainage laid for each stand or shared units before the units are occupied
- Schools, churches and clinics: large tanks for schools and clinics, with plans signed off by a professional
