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 tanks requests in the area come from:
- Houses: a sealed tank for a house on a small stand where a drainage field will not fit
- Smallholdings and plots: a holding tank where rock or a high water table rules out a soakaway
- Factories, mines, sites and events: bulk holding tanks for sites and works that must not discharge on the ground
- Farms and game farms: a sealed tank near a borehole or river where discharge is not allowed
- Restaurants, shops and offices: a holding tank for a shop or filling station with an upstream grease trap
- Schools, churches and clinics: sealed tanks for a school or clinic, sized for the term-time load
- Estates and complexes: large linked tanks for a complex awaiting a sewer, with a pump-out schedule
