About Scarab Water: 21 Years of Sewage Superstardom

Welcome to Scarab Water, where we’ve been turning wastewater woes into triumphs for over 21 years! Here’s a little taste—a small, sanitized sample, if you will—of what we’ve achieved since Steve Nicol and his late father, Gordon, kicked off this sewage-soaked adventure in 2000.

Our sewage treatment systems aren’t just built; they’re crafted with the kind of love, care, and top-notch technology that would make even the pickiest engineer blush. We use the best materials and workmanship because, frankly, when you’re dealing with what we deal with, cutting corners is not an option—unless you enjoy the smell of regret.

These systems are our pride and joy, designed and manufactured to be the unsung heroes of the environment. Each one is installed with precision, ready to stand guard as a trusted custodian in places where lesser setups might wave a white flag. Whether it’s a rural homestead, a bustling mine, a school full of curious kids, or an eco-estate with greener-than-thou ambitions, our systems deliver. We’ve spread our wastewater wisdom across South Africa, into the wilds of Botswana, Zimbabwe, and Kenya, and even Down Under in Australia—because sewage doesn’t respect borders, and neither do we!
Our mission? To create sewage treatment systems so good they’d make a plumber weep with joy. Over the years, we’ve racked up 11 awards from 7 fancy organizations—yes, including the 2022 Prestige Awards—proving we’re not just flushing around. Tested and approved by the likes of Umgeni Water and Durban Metro, our package plants are built to last over 25 years (just keep them out of the sun’s harsh spotlight, please). With no moving parts, they’re low-maintenance marvels—think of them as the strong, silent type, quietly saving the day while others fiddle with their gears.

At Scarab Water, we’re not just about treating sewage; we’re about treating it
right. From water reuse that’s compliant in 7 working days (faster than you can say “bureaucratic nightmare”) to eco-friendly cleaning products that keep things sparkling, we’ve got a knack for making the dirty delightful.

So, take a peek at this small sample of our greatness—it’s the tip of the iceberg in a sea of sewage success. Stick around, explore our story, and see why, after two decades, we’re still the kings of clean (water, that is).

Who knew wastewater could be this much fun?
