Septic tanks and drainage in East London
East London has a sewered core, but outlying areas such as Gonubie, parts of Beacon Bay, and the rural Buffalo City edges toward Kidds Beach and Cove Rock use septic and conservancy tanks. The Eastern Cape coast is humid with year-round rain, and heavy summer downpours saturate the clay soils inland and the sandy coastal belt alike. A high water table near the Nahoon and Buffalo rivers often rules out standard soakaways. Mdantsane and Qonce have their own sewer networks and pressures. Honey sucker operators serve the metro from East London itself, and tank suppliers keep stock for plastic and concrete tanks. Holiday lodges peak in December.
Typical septic tank prices requests in the area come from:
- Houses: pricing a 2,500 to 5,000 L tank and a basic installed system for a house
- Lodges, guesthouses and venues: pricing 7,000 L and larger tanks or a treatment plant for guest numbers
- Smallholdings and plots: pricing a bigger tank, a longer pipe run and a larger drainage field
- Restaurants, shops and offices: pricing heavy duty tanks and installation for shops and restaurants
- Factories, mines, sites and events: pricing bulk tanks for sites and camps, with delivery to a set date
- Farms and game farms: pricing separate systems for the homestead and worker housing in one quote
