Septic tanks and drainage in Gqeberha
Gqeberha is mostly sewered, but older homes in Walmer, outlying areas such as Theescombe and Sunridge, and the farms and smallholdings toward Seaview and Colchester still rely on septic and conservancy tanks. Sandy soils near the coast drain quickly, which suits soakaways, but a shallow water table near the Swartkops River and in low-lying areas can flood them. The city is dry, which helps, though it can have a few intense wet spells. Industrial sites in Struandale and Deal Party use grease traps and conservancy tanks. Honey sucker operators work from Gqeberha and Kariega, and the municipal works takes loads at approved points.
Typical sewage treatment plants requests in the area come from:
- Houses: rarely used at a house; a septic tank or biodigester is normally enough
- 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
- 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
- Estates and complexes: a package plant for a whole estate, with treated water used on common gardens
- Schools, churches and clinics: a plant for a boarding school, clinic or hospital with steady, large flows
