Septic tanks and drainage in Middelburg
Middelburg is a farming and steel town where the sewer reaches most of the older suburbs, but not the surrounding district. Homes in Eastdene, Aerorand and Kanonkop are mainly connected, while smallholdings and farms along the Hendrina and Belfast roads depend on septic tanks, soakaways and the odd french drain. Winter is cold and dry and summer storms are heavy, so soakaways that cope in June can flood in January. Clay soils with a shallow rock layer in places limit absorption trenches. Honey sucker trucks work from town and from eMalahleni, and farmers often combine a pump-out with a drainage inspection on the same visit.
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
- 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
- Restaurants, shops and offices: frequent emptying for shops and offices in town centres with no sewer link
- Estates and complexes: fixed weekly collections for shared sealed tanks, with gate access booked in advance
- Schools, churches and clinics: scheduled collections for schools and churches, with receipts for the records
