Septic tanks and drainage in Upington
Upington is a desert town on the Orange River, where heat, red Kalahari sand and almost no rain define the setting. The town is mostly on the sewer, while irrigation farms at Keimoes, Kakamas, Kanoneiland and Louisvale use septic tanks and soakaways. The sand drains very fast, so effluent can pass through before it is treated, while the high water table beside the river and its canals is a groundwater risk. Guesthouses and lodges serve tourists on the river and run conservancy tanks or treatment plants. Honey sucker operators work from Upington, and long distances along the river road add travel time.

Typical septic tank prices requests in the area come from:
- Farms and game farms: pricing separate systems for the homestead and worker housing in one quote
- Lodges, guesthouses and venues: pricing 7,000 L and larger tanks or a treatment plant for guest numbers
- Houses: pricing a 2,500 to 5,000 L tank and a basic installed system for a house
- 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
- Schools, churches and clinics: pricing large tanks and compliance work for schools and clinics
- Estates and complexes: bulk pricing for several tanks, with a discount for matching sizes
