Septic tanks and drainage in Kimberley
Kimberley is an old diamond town on a dry plain, and its mainly sewered suburbs such as Hadison Park and Beaconsfield contrast with outlying farms, smallholdings and settlements that use septic tanks or conservancy tanks. Rainfall is low, so soils stay dry, but calcrete, hard rock and old mine workings make excavation slow and soakaway trenches difficult. Old mining ground and ageing pipes cause sewer blockages that residents often mistake for septic problems. Guesthouses and farms toward Barkly West and Ritchie need regular pump-outs. Honey sucker operators serve the area from Kimberley, with long drives to remote farms across the Karoo-like plain.
Typical concrete septic tanks requests in the area come from:
- Houses: a concrete tank to replace or repair an old two-chamber tank at an off-sewer house
- Farms and game farms: rings and tanks for worker housing, built with local labour and materials
- Restaurants, shops and offices: a heavy tank behind a shop or garage, often under a parking area
- Smallholdings and plots: stacked rings for a smallholding where a crane truck can reach the site
- Schools, churches and clinics: large tanks for schools and churches, repaired during school holidays
- Lodges, guesthouses and venues: big concrete tanks for chalets, set away from guest areas with good ventilation
- Factories, mines, sites and events: heavy-duty tanks for depots and works where trucks pass over the lids
