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 septic tank chemicals requests in the area come from:
- Farms and game farms: bulk bacteria for worker housing tanks and farm kitchens that produce a lot of grease
- Lodges, guesthouses and venues: enzyme dosing to cope with seasonal peaks and laundry water
- 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
- 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
