Septic tanks and drainage in Bloemfontein
Bloemfontein is a large city on the Highveld, and the central and western suburbs such as Brandwag and Langenhoven Park are on the sewer. Septic and conservancy systems are common on the smallholdings toward Bainsvlei and Dewetsdorp, on farms, in older sites on the city edge, and at Thaba Nchu and Botshabelo villages. Dry Free State soils are mixed clay and dolerite, with clay swelling in summer storms and cracking in winter, which disturbs pipes and tank lids. Winters are cold and dry. Honey sucker operators and tank suppliers work from the Hamilton and Bloemfontein industrial areas, and many serve farms across the central Free State.
Typical biodigesters requests in the area come from:
- Houses: a compact digester that replaces an old septic tank at an off-sewer house
- Smallholdings and plots: a larger digester with biogas for the kitchen and treated water for the garden
- Farms and game farms: digesters for worker housing, sometimes fed with manure to raise biogas output
- Restaurants, shops and offices: a small unit for a roadside shop or office that is far from a sewer
- Schools, churches and clinics: a digester for a rural school or clinic where pump-out trucks are far away
- Estates and complexes: a shared digester for a small cluster, with approval from the body corporate
- Factories, mines, sites and events: a site unit for staff ablutions at a quarry, depot or remote works
