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 conservancy tank emptying requests in the area come from:
- Schools, churches and clinics: scheduled collections for schools and churches, with receipts for the records
- 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
- Smallholdings and plots: regular emptying where the ground cannot take drainage, with fewer visits for big tanks
- Restaurants, shops and offices: frequent emptying for shops and offices in town centres with no sewer link
- Lodges, guesthouses and venues: extra emptying in peak season, with a level alarm to avoid overflows near guests
- Estates and complexes: fixed weekly collections for shared sealed tanks, with gate access booked in advance
