Septic tanks and drainage in Klerksdorp
Klerksdorp, Stilfontein and Orkney grew around the goldfields, and ageing infrastructure plus undermined ground make sewage a recurring issue. Older suburbs such as Flamwood and Alabama are mostly on mains, but smallholdings on the outskirts, farms in the Maquassi and Hartbeesfontein districts, and mine hostels and residential blocks use septic tanks and conservancy tanks. Dry, red and sandy soils drain quickly, which suits soakaways, yet dolomite in parts of the district brings sinkhole risk if water leaks into the ground. Honey sucker operators serve the area from Klerksdorp, and mine contractors hire bulk tanks and portable toilets.

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
- Factories, mines, sites and events: site tanks for construction camps and workshops, installed to a set programme
- 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
- Schools, churches and clinics: large tanks for schools and clinics, with plans signed off by a professional
- Estates and complexes: tanks and drainage laid for each stand or shared units before the units are occupied
