Septic tanks and drainage in Middelburg
Middelburg is a farming and steel town where the sewer reaches most of the older suburbs, but not the surrounding district. Homes in Eastdene, Aerorand and Kanonkop are mainly connected, while smallholdings and farms along the Hendrina and Belfast roads depend on septic tanks, soakaways and the odd french drain. Winter is cold and dry and summer storms are heavy, so soakaways that cope in June can flood in January. Clay soils with a shallow rock layer in places limit absorption trenches. Honey sucker trucks work from town and from eMalahleni, and farmers often combine a pump-out with a drainage inspection on the same visit.
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
- 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
- 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
- Estates and complexes: a row of plastic tanks serving a few cottages or units on shared ground
- Schools, churches and clinics: tanks for a rural school or clinic where installation must be quick
