Give the daily flow, the number of users and where treated water will go, so suppliers serving Eastern Cape and the rest of Eastern Cape can propose a suitable plant.

Septic tanks and drainage in Eastern Cape
Large parts of the Eastern Cape sit off the sewer, from Wild Coast villages and rural homesteads around Mthatha to farms near Graaff-Reinet and holiday homes along the Sunshine Coast. Coastal sand and a high water table around Jeffreys Bay, Port Alfred and Kenton-on-Sea flood soakaways, so conservancy tanks and package plants are common. Inland Karoo farms use septic tanks and french drains that rarely get rain to wash them. Schools and clinics in rural areas need scheduled pump-outs, and factories around Kariega and Coega need bulk removal. Honey sucker operators and tank suppliers are based mainly in Gqeberha and East London, so distant jobs cost more.
Typical sewage treatment plants requests in the area come from:
- Houses: rarely used at a house; a septic tank or biodigester is normally enough
- Schools, churches and clinics: a plant for a boarding school, clinic or hospital with steady, large flows
- Farms and game farms: a plant for worker housing and a packhouse, with treated water for irrigation
- Lodges, guesthouses and venues: a plant sized for peak guest numbers, reusing water on lawns in dry regions
- Smallholdings and plots: a small plant for a large smallholding with several homes and heavy use
- Factories, mines, sites and events: a plant for a mine camp or factory, with sampling and waste records
- Restaurants, shops and offices: a plant for a mall, hotel or filling station away from the sewer network
