Septic tanks and drainage in Potchefstroom
Potchefstroom is a university and farming town on the Mooi River, with most of the town centre, Baillie Park and Van der Hoff Park on the sewer. Beyond that, smallholdings, farms in the Ventersdorp and Parys directions, and student accommodation on the edges use septic tanks, soakaways and conservancy tanks. Dolomite underlies much of the district, so a leaking tank or soakaway can open sinkholes, and municipal rules lean toward sealed conservancy tanks in sensitive zones. The river valley has a higher water table, while summer storms are heavy. Honey sucker operators work from Potchefstroom, and the agricultural suppliers stock tanks and drainage pipe.
Typical conservancy tanks requests in the area come from:
- Smallholdings and plots: a holding tank where rock or a high water table rules out a soakaway
- Houses: a sealed tank for a house on a small stand where a drainage field will not fit
- Farms and game farms: a sealed tank near a borehole or river where discharge is not allowed
- Schools, churches and clinics: sealed tanks for a school or clinic, sized for the term-time load
- Restaurants, shops and offices: a holding tank for a shop or filling station with an upstream grease trap
- Estates and complexes: large linked tanks for a complex awaiting a sewer, with a pump-out schedule
- Lodges, guesthouses and venues: big tanks with a high-level alarm for chalets in sensitive areas, emptied on a regular round
