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 drain unblocking requests in the area come from:
- Schools, churches and clinics: clearing long school and clinic lines, with planned jetting during the holidays
- Houses: clearing a toilet, shower or kitchen line, or the outside drain that serves a house
- Farms and game farms: clearing silted yard drains and pipes between the homestead, workers' housing and tanks
- Smallholdings and plots: freeing the long pipe from the house to the septic tank across a larger property
- Restaurants, shops and offices: clearing kitchen, restroom and floor drains at shops and restaurants, often after hours
- Lodges, guesthouses and venues: fast call-outs for blocked guest bathrooms and laundry lines during the busy season
- Estates and complexes: jetting shared stormwater and sewer lines for a complex, with a camera report for the body corporate
