Septic tanks and drainage in Brits
Brits is an irrigation and industrial town below the Magaliesberg, with the sewer serving the central suburbs and not much beyond them. The agricultural holdings around Hartbeespoort, Schoemansville, Damonsville and the Crocodile River valley rely on septic tanks and french drains, and the weekend and holiday houses by the dam add seasonal loads. Black clay and alluvial soil near the river and the dam are poorly draining and the water table is high, which is hard on soakaways. Factory sites and farm worker housing use conservancy tanks. Honey sucker operators work from Brits and Hartbeespoort, and the Gauteng side supplies tanks and plant.
Typical plastic septic tanks requests in the area come from:
- Smallholdings and plots: a light tank that one truck can deliver to a remote building site
- Farms and game farms: tanks for worker housing and farmstalls, often delivered a long way from town
- Houses: a 2,500 to 5,000 litre buried tank for a new or renovated off-sewer house
- Factories, mines, sites and events: tanks for site offices and ablutions on construction sites and small works
- Lodges, guesthouses and venues: larger tanks in series for chalets, with anchoring where the ground is damp
- Estates and complexes: a row of plastic tanks serving a few cottages or units on shared ground
- Restaurants, shops and offices: small tanks behind a shop, restaurant or filling station, with a grease trap upstream
