Septic tanks and drainage in North West
North West has many properties off the sewer, from Rustenburg's fast growing suburbs and informal settlements to farms around Lichtenburg and Vryburg. Around Hartbeespoort and Brits, homes and lodges on rocky Magaliesberg slopes and the dam edge use septic tanks, conservancy tanks and small treatment plants, and shallow rock makes soakaways hard to dig. Maize and cattle farms use septic tanks and french drains at the homestead and worker housing. Mines and construction camps around the platinum belt need bulk pump-outs and portable toilets. Clay patches hold water after summer storms. Honey sucker operators and tank suppliers work mainly from Rustenburg, Brits, Klerksdorp and Potchefstroom.
Typical biodigesters requests in the area come from:
- Farms and game farms: digesters for worker housing, sometimes fed with manure to raise biogas output
- Smallholdings and plots: a larger digester with biogas for the kitchen and treated water for the garden
- Houses: a compact digester that replaces an old septic tank at an off-sewer house
- Factories, mines, sites and events: a site unit for staff ablutions at a quarry, depot or remote works
- Lodges, guesthouses and venues: a digester sized for seasonal guest numbers, paired with a filter bed
- Schools, churches and clinics: a digester for a rural school or clinic where pump-out trucks are far away
- Restaurants, shops and offices: a small unit for a roadside shop or office that is far from a sewer
