Septic tanks and drainage in Upington
Upington is a desert town on the Orange River, where heat, red Kalahari sand and almost no rain define the setting. The town is mostly on the sewer, while irrigation farms at Keimoes, Kakamas, Kanoneiland and Louisvale use septic tanks and soakaways. The sand drains very fast, so effluent can pass through before it is treated, while the high water table beside the river and its canals is a groundwater risk. Guesthouses and lodges serve tourists on the river and run conservancy tanks or treatment plants. Honey sucker operators work from Upington, and long distances along the river road add travel time.
Typical portable toilet hire requests in the area come from:
- Farms and game farms: chemical units in the lands for seasonal workers, or VIP units for a farm wedding
- Lodges, guesthouses and venues: VIP units for weddings and conferences that exceed the lodge's own toilets
- Houses: a unit or two for a renovation or a garden party at an off-sewer house
- Smallholdings and plots: extra toilets for a wedding, market day or build on a smallholding
- Restaurants, shops and offices: units for a shop fit-out, pop-up market or outdoor trade show
- Schools, churches and clinics: temporary toilets for a school sports day or church conference
- Estates and complexes: units for contractors working inside the estate during building or repairs
