Septic tanks and drainage in Klerksdorp
Klerksdorp, Stilfontein and Orkney grew around the goldfields, and ageing infrastructure plus undermined ground make sewage a recurring issue. Older suburbs such as Flamwood and Alabama are mostly on mains, but smallholdings on the outskirts, farms in the Maquassi and Hartbeesfontein districts, and mine hostels and residential blocks use septic tanks and conservancy tanks. Dry, red and sandy soils drain quickly, which suits soakaways, yet dolomite in parts of the district brings sinkhole risk if water leaks into the ground. Honey sucker operators serve the area from Klerksdorp, and mine contractors hire bulk tanks and portable toilets.
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
- Factories, mines, sites and events: a site unit for staff ablutions at a quarry, depot or remote works
- 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
