Woodlands Settlement is a rural settlement located in the Koukamma Local Municipality (KKLM) and situated
on the R102 route in the Eastern Cape. The Woodlands Settlement is located approximately 15km southwest
of Kareedouw Town.
The existing small-bore gravity sewer reticulation and digester system servicing Woodland’s settlement is in
urgent need of upgrade:
- The hydraulic and treatment capacity (ADWF) of the existing treatment plant is 250 kl/d
- The system was designed to take septic tank sludge; not domestic wastewater
- There is no Inlet works, thus no screening, degritting or flow measurement as legislated by DWS
- The system overflows in peak conditions;
- There is no inlet for “honey suckers”
- Limited capacity to clean the digesters has often led to unsanitary conditions.
- There is no chlorine contact tank
- There is no sludge management system
- As the system is not operational, effluent is not compliant with the limits of the general authorisation
issued in terms of the National Water Act (Act 36 of 1998) (Appendix G4).

The Koukamma Local Municipality (LM) has commissioned SMEC South Africa for the design and
implementation of the internal sewer reticulation, bulk sewer reticulation, and wastewater treatment works
within the Woodlands Settlement.
