Septic tanks and drainage in Bellville
Bellville and the northern suburbs are mostly on the City of Cape Town sewer, so septic tanks here are found on the outskirts: smallholdings in Durbanville, Philadelphia and Joostenberg, farms along the Klapmuts road and older homes in Kraaifontein and Brackenfell fringes. Soils are a mix of Malmesbury shale and clay, which drain slowly in the wet Cape winters, and parts of the Cape Flats side have a high water table. Wine and olive farms use french drains for cellars and housing. Stikland and Bellville South have industrial sites with grease traps and tanks. Honey sucker operators work from Bellville and Kuils River, and cover the Winelands edge.
Typical septic tank installation requests in the area come from:
- Houses: a new tank and drainage field for a house built or extended away from the sewer
- Smallholdings and plots: a full system on a smallholding, with a larger field and a long pipe run
- Farms and game farms: separate systems for the homestead and worker housing, kept clear of boreholes
- Restaurants, shops and offices: approved systems for shops, restaurants and offices outside the sewer network
- Factories, mines, sites and events: site tanks for construction camps and workshops, installed to a set programme
- Estates and complexes: tanks and drainage laid for each stand or shared units before the units are occupied
- Lodges, guesthouses and venues: larger tanks and fields sized for guest numbers, often with a treatment plant
