Septic tanks and drainage in Upington
Upington is a desert town on the Orange River, where heat, red Kalahari sand and almost no rain define the setting. The town is mostly on the sewer, while irrigation farms at Keimoes, Kakamas, Kanoneiland and Louisvale use septic tanks and soakaways. The sand drains very fast, so effluent can pass through before it is treated, while the high water table beside the river and its canals is a groundwater risk. Guesthouses and lodges serve tourists on the river and run conservancy tanks or treatment plants. Honey sucker operators work from Upington, and long distances along the river road add travel time.
Typical concrete septic tanks requests in the area come from:
- Farms and game farms: rings and tanks for worker housing, built with local labour and materials
- Lodges, guesthouses and venues: big concrete tanks for chalets, set away from guest areas with good ventilation
- 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
- 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
