Septic tanks and drainage in Welkom
Welkom is a goldfields town of wide streets and traffic circles, with most of the suburbs, such as Riebeeckstad and Bedelia, on the sewer. As mines have closed, ageing pipes and pumping stations cause blockages and spills, and some areas depend on septic or conservancy tanks. Smallholdings and farms toward Odendaalsrus, Virginia, Hennenman and Allanridge use septic tanks. The flat landscape has shallow pans, and the ground holds water after summer storms. Sandy loam and clay layers vary from plot to plot, so soakaway tests are worthwhile. Honey sucker operators work from Welkom and Odendaalsrus, and mine and school sites need regular scheduled service.

Typical portable toilet hire requests in the area come from:
- 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
- Schools, churches and clinics: temporary toilets for a school sports day or church conference
- Farms and game farms: chemical units in the lands for seasonal workers, or VIP units for a farm wedding
- Restaurants, shops and offices: units for a shop fit-out, pop-up market or outdoor trade show
- Factories, mines, sites and events: serviced units for a construction camp, plant shutdown or mine site
- Estates and complexes: units for contractors working inside the estate during building or repairs
