Septic tanks and drainage in Free State
Free State towns are largely on sewer, but farms, smallholdings and many older homes outside Bloemfontein, Welkom and Kroonstad run septic tanks and conservancy tanks. Clay soils that swell and shrink often block soakaways, and cold winters slow bacterial action, so tanks fill faster than owners expect. Maize and cattle farms use french drains and tanks at homesteads and worker housing, while schools, clinics and churches in smaller towns depend on scheduled pump-outs. Around Clarens, Bethlehem and Harrismith, guesthouses and weekend lodges add holiday peaks. Sasolburg's industrial sites need bulk waste removal. Honey sucker operators and tank suppliers work from Bloemfontein, Welkom, Sasolburg and Bethlehem.
Typical plastic septic tanks requests in the area come from:
- 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
- Smallholdings and plots: a light tank that one truck can deliver to a remote building site
- Schools, churches and clinics: tanks for a rural school or clinic where installation must be quick
- Lodges, guesthouses and venues: larger tanks in series for chalets, with anchoring where the ground is damp
- Factories, mines, sites and events: tanks for site offices and ablutions on construction sites and small works
- Restaurants, shops and offices: small tanks behind a shop, restaurant or filling station, with a grease trap upstream
