Septic tanks and drainage in Middelburg
Middelburg is a farming and steel town where the sewer reaches most of the older suburbs, but not the surrounding district. Homes in Eastdene, Aerorand and Kanonkop are mainly connected, while smallholdings and farms along the Hendrina and Belfast roads depend on septic tanks, soakaways and the odd french drain. Winter is cold and dry and summer storms are heavy, so soakaways that cope in June can flood in January. Clay soils with a shallow rock layer in places limit absorption trenches. Honey sucker trucks work from town and from eMalahleni, and farmers often combine a pump-out with a drainage inspection on the same visit.
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
- 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
- Factories, mines, sites and events: site tanks for construction camps and workshops, installed to a set programme
- Restaurants, shops and offices: approved systems for shops, restaurants and offices outside the sewer network
- Estates and complexes: tanks and drainage laid for each stand or shared units before the units are occupied
- Schools, churches and clinics: large tanks for schools and clinics, with plans signed off by a professional
