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 service requests in the area come from:
- Houses: a yearly inspection and small repairs to keep the tank and drains working
- Factories, mines, sites and events: inspecting site and staff facility tanks for compliance and safe working
- Farms and game farms: servicing homestead and worker housing tanks together, with simple repairs on the day
- Smallholdings and plots: checking large tanks and long drainage runs before they fail in the rainy season
- Restaurants, shops and offices: scheduled checks for restaurants and offices, with a record for the landlord
- Schools, churches and clinics: annual inspections at schools and clinics, with reports for the governing body
