Septic tanks and drainage in Mahikeng
Mahikeng and Mmabatho are a government and administrative centre on a dry bushveld plain. Many suburbs are on the sewer, though capacity has been under strain, and large parts of the surrounding villages and farms are off it entirely. Septic tanks with soakaways serve homesteads, schools and clinics, with conservancy tanks at government and commercial sites. The red sandy and calcrete soils drain well, but rock close to the surface in places makes excavation costly. Rainfall is low and falls in short summer storms. Honey sucker trucks serve the area from Mahikeng and Lichtenburg, with long runs along dirt roads to farms toward Zeerust and Ottoshoop.
Typical concrete septic tanks requests in the area come from:
- Schools, churches and clinics: large tanks for schools and churches, repaired during school holidays
- 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
- Smallholdings and plots: stacked rings for a smallholding where a crane truck can reach the site
- Restaurants, shops and offices: a heavy tank behind a shop or garage, often under a parking area
- Lodges, guesthouses and venues: big concrete tanks for chalets, set away from guest areas with good ventilation
- Estates and complexes: a large built-in-place tank shared by cottages, with a lid rated for vehicles
