Septic tanks and drainage in Potchefstroom

Potchefstroom is a university and farming town on the Mooi River, with most of the town centre, Baillie Park and Van der Hoff Park on the sewer. Beyond that, smallholdings, farms in the Ventersdorp and Parys directions, and student accommodation on the edges use septic tanks, soakaways and conservancy tanks. Dolomite underlies much of the district, so a leaking tank or soakaway can open sinkholes, and municipal rules lean toward sealed conservancy tanks in sensitive zones. The river valley has a higher water table, while summer storms are heavy. Honey sucker operators work from Potchefstroom, and the agricultural suppliers stock tanks and drainage pipe.
