Septic tanks and drainage in Mbombela
Mbombela has a warm, wet subtropical climate, and that shapes septic work as much as the sewer map does. Suburbs such as West Acres and Sonheuwel are on mains, but White River, Rocky Drift, Karino and the citrus and macadamia farms use septic tanks and soakaways. Decomposed granite and red loam drain reasonably on the slopes, while low ground near the Crocodile and Sand rivers has a high water table that floods soakaways in the rainy season. Guesthouses and lodges on the road to Hazyview run package treatment plants and conservancy tanks with large seasonal loads. Operators and tank suppliers are based in the Riverside and Nelspruit industrial areas.
Typical sewage treatment plants requests in the area come from:
- Smallholdings and plots: a small plant for a large smallholding with several homes and heavy use
- Lodges, guesthouses and venues: a plant sized for peak guest numbers, reusing water on lawns in dry regions
- Farms and game farms: a plant for worker housing and a packhouse, with treated water for irrigation
- Houses: rarely used at a house; a septic tank or biodigester is normally enough
- Estates and complexes: a package plant for a whole estate, with treated water used on common gardens
- Restaurants, shops and offices: a plant for a mall, hotel or filling station away from the sewer network
- Schools, churches and clinics: a plant for a boarding school, clinic or hospital with steady, large flows
