Septic tanks and drainage in Welkom
Welkom is a goldfields town of wide streets and traffic circles, with most of the suburbs, such as Riebeeckstad and Bedelia, on the sewer. As mines have closed, ageing pipes and pumping stations cause blockages and spills, and some areas depend on septic or conservancy tanks. Smallholdings and farms toward Odendaalsrus, Virginia, Hennenman and Allanridge use septic tanks. The flat landscape has shallow pans, and the ground holds water after summer storms. Sandy loam and clay layers vary from plot to plot, so soakaway tests are worthwhile. Honey sucker operators work from Welkom and Odendaalsrus, and mine and school sites need regular scheduled service.
