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 JoJo septic tanks requests in the area come from:
- Farms and game farms: tanks for the homestead and worker housing, light enough to move by bakkie
- Lodges, guesthouses and venues: 8,000 to 10,000 L tanks or pairs in series for guest numbers
- Houses: a 2,500 to 5,000 L ribbed tank for a house, fitted in a day or two
- 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

- Estates and complexes: matching ribbed tanks for several units, delivered together
