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 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
- Smallholdings and plots: regular emptying where the ground cannot take drainage, with fewer visits for big tanks
- Factories, mines, sites and events: emptying holding tanks on building sites and factories where there is no treatment
- 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
- Schools, churches and clinics: scheduled collections for schools and churches, with receipts for the records
- Estates and complexes: fixed weekly collections for shared sealed tanks, with gate access booked in advance
