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 honey sucker services requests in the area come from:
- Houses: a small or mid-size truck that fits the street and reaches the tank in one visit
- Smallholdings and plots: a 10 kL truck with extra hose for long driveways, gravel roads and big tanks
- Farms and game farms: a rugged truck that handles dirt roads, with several tanks cleared in one trip
- Restaurants, shops and offices: a regular operator who knows the site and works around trading hours
- Schools, churches and clinics: a large tanker booked for holidays, with paperwork for the school or clinic
- Estates and complexes: a large truck on a scheduled round, with gate access arranged through security
- Factories, mines, sites and events: high-capacity trucks and several loads per day for sites with waste records
