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 grease trap cleaning requests in the area come from:
- Smallholdings and plots: a trap on a farm stall, deli or catering kitchen run from a smallholding
- Houses: a small under-sink trap at a home business kitchen or a granny flat with a full kitchen
- Farms and game farms: traps at farm kitchens, worker canteens and packing sheds that cook for many people
- Schools, churches and clinics: scheduled cleaning of school, hospital and church hall kitchen traps, often in the holidays
- Restaurants, shops and offices: frequent cleaning of restaurant, takeaway and food court traps to meet by-laws and landlords
- Estates and complexes: traps at a clubhouse restaurant or communal kitchen, serviced on a body corporate schedule
- Lodges, guesthouses and venues: heavy-use traps at lodge and venue kitchens that peak during weddings and holiday seasons
