Septic tanks and drainage in Bellville
Bellville and the northern suburbs are mostly on the City of Cape Town sewer, so septic tanks here are found on the outskirts: smallholdings in Durbanville, Philadelphia and Joostenberg, farms along the Klapmuts road and older homes in Kraaifontein and Brackenfell fringes. Soils are a mix of Malmesbury shale and clay, which drain slowly in the wet Cape winters, and parts of the Cape Flats side have a high water table. Wine and olive farms use french drains for cellars and housing. Stikland and Bellville South have industrial sites with grease traps and tanks. Honey sucker operators work from Bellville and Kuils River, and cover the Winelands edge.
