Septic tanks and drainage in Upington
Upington is a desert town on the Orange River, where heat, red Kalahari sand and almost no rain define the setting. The town is mostly on the sewer, while irrigation farms at Keimoes, Kakamas, Kanoneiland and Louisvale use septic tanks and soakaways. The sand drains very fast, so effluent can pass through before it is treated, while the high water table beside the river and its canals is a groundwater risk. Guesthouses and lodges serve tourists on the river and run conservancy tanks or treatment plants. Honey sucker operators work from Upington, and long distances along the river road add travel time.
Typical honey sucker trucks for sale requests in the area come from:
- Farms and game farms: a mid-size tanker for several farm sites, sometimes also moving water
- Lodges, guesthouses and venues: a small truck for a group of lodges that want to manage waste themselves
- Houses: rarely bought, though a small tanker may suit a homeowner starting a side business
