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