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 plastic septic tanks requests in the area come from:
- Schools, churches and clinics: tanks for a rural school or clinic where installation must be quick
- Houses: a 2,500 to 5,000 litre buried tank for a new or renovated off-sewer house
- Farms and game farms: tanks for worker housing and farmstalls, often delivered a long way from town
- Smallholdings and plots: a light tank that one truck can deliver to a remote building site
- Restaurants, shops and offices: small tanks behind a shop, restaurant or filling station, with a grease trap upstream
- 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
