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 JoJo septic tanks requests in the area come from:
- Schools, churches and clinics: larger ribbed tanks for small schools and clinics on rural sites
- 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
- Smallholdings and plots: a 5,000 to 6,000 L tank carried to a smallholding with rough access
- Restaurants, shops and offices: ribbed tanks for small shops and offices where no sewer exists
- Lodges, guesthouses and venues: 8,000 to 10,000 L tanks or pairs in series for guest numbers
- Estates and complexes: matching ribbed tanks for several units, delivered together
