Septic tanks and drainage in Bloemfontein
Bloemfontein is a large city on the Highveld, and the central and western suburbs such as Brandwag and Langenhoven Park are on the sewer. Septic and conservancy systems are common on the smallholdings toward Bainsvlei and Dewetsdorp, on farms, in older sites on the city edge, and at Thaba Nchu and Botshabelo villages. Dry Free State soils are mixed clay and dolerite, with clay swelling in summer storms and cracking in winter, which disturbs pipes and tank lids. Winters are cold and dry. Honey sucker operators and tank suppliers work from the Hamilton and Bloemfontein industrial areas, and many serve farms across the central Free State.

Typical septic tank chemicals requests in the area come from:
- Houses: a bacteria starter after a pump-out and a monthly tablet to keep the tank settled
- Smallholdings and plots: enzyme treatment for a large tank, with a pump-out still planned every few years
- Farms and game farms: bulk bacteria for worker housing tanks and farm kitchens that produce a lot of grease
- Restaurants, shops and offices: regular products for tanks and grease lines at restaurants and takeaways
- Schools, churches and clinics: scheduled supply for schools and clinics, with safety data sheets on file
- Estates and complexes: a dosing plan for shared tanks, delivered by the supplier on a schedule
- Factories, mines, sites and events: drums of treatment for site ablution tanks and temporary camps
