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.
