Septic tanks and drainage in Bloemfontein
Bloemfontein is a large city on the Highveld, and the central and western suburbs such as Brandwag and Langenhoven Park are on the sewer. Septic and conservancy systems are common on the smallholdings toward Bainsvlei and Dewetsdorp, on farms, in older sites on the city edge, and at Thaba Nchu and Botshabelo villages. Dry Free State soils are mixed clay and dolerite, with clay swelling in summer storms and cracking in winter, which disturbs pipes and tank lids. Winters are cold and dry. Honey sucker operators and tank suppliers work from the Hamilton and Bloemfontein industrial areas, and many serve farms across the central Free State.
Typical grease trap cleaning requests in the area come from:
- Houses: a small under-sink trap at a home business kitchen or a granny flat with a full kitchen
- Smallholdings and plots: a trap on a farm stall, deli or catering kitchen run from a smallholding
- Farms and game farms: traps at farm kitchens, worker canteens and packing sheds that cook for many people
- Restaurants, shops and offices: frequent cleaning of restaurant, takeaway and food court traps to meet by-laws and landlords
- Schools, churches and clinics: scheduled cleaning of school, hospital and church hall kitchen traps, often in the holidays
- Estates and complexes: traps at a clubhouse restaurant or communal kitchen, serviced on a body corporate schedule
- Factories, mines, sites and events: large traps at food factories and staff canteens with a waste slip for each visit
