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 conservancy tank emptying requests in the area come from:
- Houses: emptying a sealed tank every few weeks where the stand has no sewer or soakaway
- Farms and game farms: scheduled emptying of sealed tanks near homesteads and staff housing in sensitive ground
- Restaurants, shops and offices: frequent emptying for shops and offices in town centres with no sewer link
- Smallholdings and plots: regular emptying where the ground cannot take drainage, with fewer visits for big tanks
- Schools, churches and clinics: scheduled collections for schools and churches, with receipts for the records
- Lodges, guesthouses and venues: extra emptying in peak season, with a level alarm to avoid overflows near guests
- Factories, mines, sites and events: emptying holding tanks on building sites and factories where there is no treatment
