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 honey sucker services requests in the area come from:
- Schools, churches and clinics: a large tanker booked for holidays, with paperwork for the school or clinic
- Houses: a small or mid-size truck that fits the street and reaches the tank in one visit
- Farms and game farms: a rugged truck that handles dirt roads, with several tanks cleared in one trip
- Smallholdings and plots: a 10 kL truck with extra hose for long driveways, gravel roads and big tanks
- Restaurants, shops and offices: a regular operator who knows the site and works around trading hours
- Lodges, guesthouses and venues: reliable trucks that arrive between guest changeovers and work without disturbing guests
- Estates and complexes: a large truck on a scheduled round, with gate access arranged through security
