Septic tanks and drainage in Kimberley
Kimberley is an old diamond town on a dry plain, and its mainly sewered suburbs such as Hadison Park and Beaconsfield contrast with outlying farms, smallholdings and settlements that use septic tanks or conservancy tanks. Rainfall is low, so soils stay dry, but calcrete, hard rock and old mine workings make excavation slow and soakaway trenches difficult. Old mining ground and ageing pipes cause sewer blockages that residents often mistake for septic problems. Guesthouses and farms toward Barkly West and Ritchie need regular pump-outs. Honey sucker operators serve the area from Kimberley, with long drives to remote farms across the Karoo-like plain.
Typical JoJo septic tanks requests in the area come from:
- Houses: a 2,500 to 5,000 L ribbed tank for a house, fitted in a day or two
- Farms and game farms: tanks for the homestead and worker housing, light enough to move by bakkie
- Restaurants, shops and offices: ribbed tanks for small shops and offices where no sewer exists
- Smallholdings and plots: a 5,000 to 6,000 L tank carried to a smallholding with rough access
- Schools, churches and clinics: larger ribbed tanks for small schools and clinics on rural sites
- Lodges, guesthouses and venues: 8,000 to 10,000 L tanks or pairs in series for guest numbers
- Factories, mines, sites and events: quick to fit tanks for site offices and camps
