Why Verloren Estate Chose Off-Grid Sewage
The estate falls outside Bela-Bela municipal sewer lines. Options:
- Septic tanks + soak-away → high water table → pollution risk
- French drains → illegal in Limpopo
- Package plants → only legal, eco-friendly solution
HOA rule: minimum SANS 10252-1 compliant system.
