Septic tanks and drainage in Klerksdorp
Klerksdorp, Stilfontein and Orkney grew around the goldfields, and ageing infrastructure plus undermined ground make sewage a recurring issue. Older suburbs such as Flamwood and Alabama are mostly on mains, but smallholdings on the outskirts, farms in the Maquassi and Hartbeesfontein districts, and mine hostels and residential blocks use septic tanks and conservancy tanks. Dry, red and sandy soils drain quickly, which suits soakaways, yet dolomite in parts of the district brings sinkhole risk if water leaks into the ground. Honey sucker operators serve the area from Klerksdorp, and mine contractors hire bulk tanks and portable toilets.
Typical plastic septic tanks requests in the area come from:
- 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
- Factories, mines, sites and events: tanks for site offices and ablutions on construction sites and small works
- Farms and game farms: tanks for worker housing and farmstalls, often delivered a long way from town
- Restaurants, shops and offices: small tanks behind a shop, restaurant or filling station, with a grease trap upstream
- Schools, churches and clinics: tanks for a rural school or clinic where installation must be quick
- Estates and complexes: a row of plastic tanks serving a few cottages or units on shared ground
