Septic tanks and drainage in Richards Bay
Richards Bay is a planned port town, with Meerensee, Arboretum and the industrial zones on the municipal sewer. Beyond that, Empangeni, Esikhaleni, Felixton and the Mtunzini area still lean on septic tanks, conservancy tanks and pit systems. The ground is flat and sandy with a high water table near the lagoons, estuaries and wetlands, so traditional soakaways flood and many owners choose sealed tanks or raised drainage. Humid summers and heavy rain make overflows common. Lodges and guesthouses along the coast, and cane farms inland, need regular pump-outs.
