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 prices requests in the area come from:
- Schools, churches and clinics: pricing large tanks and compliance work for schools and clinics
- Houses: pricing a 2,500 to 5,000 L tank and a basic installed system for a house
- Farms and game farms: pricing separate systems for the homestead and worker housing in one quote
- Smallholdings and plots: pricing a bigger tank, a longer pipe run and a larger drainage field
- Restaurants, shops and offices: pricing heavy duty tanks and installation for shops and restaurants
- Lodges, guesthouses and venues: pricing 7,000 L and larger tanks or a treatment plant for guest numbers
