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 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
- Smallholdings and plots: stacked rings for a smallholding where a crane truck can reach the site
- Factories, mines, sites and events: heavy-duty tanks for depots and works where trucks pass over the lids
- 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
- Schools, churches and clinics: large tanks for schools and churches, repaired during school holidays
- Estates and complexes: a large built-in-place tank shared by cottages, with a lid rated for vehicles
