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 installation requests in the area come from:
- Schools, churches and clinics: large tanks for schools and clinics, with plans signed off by a professional
- Houses: a new tank and drainage field for a house built or extended away from the sewer
- Farms and game farms: separate systems for the homestead and worker housing, kept clear of boreholes
- Smallholdings and plots: a full system on a smallholding, with a larger field and a long pipe run
- Restaurants, shops and offices: approved systems for shops, restaurants and offices outside the sewer network
- Lodges, guesthouses and venues: larger tanks and fields sized for guest numbers, often with a treatment plant
- Estates and complexes: tanks and drainage laid for each stand or shared units before the units are occupied
