Septic tanks and drainage in Bloemfontein
Bloemfontein is a large city on the Highveld, and the central and western suburbs such as Brandwag and Langenhoven Park are on the sewer. Septic and conservancy systems are common on the smallholdings toward Bainsvlei and Dewetsdorp, on farms, in older sites on the city edge, and at Thaba Nchu and Botshabelo villages. Dry Free State soils are mixed clay and dolerite, with clay swelling in summer storms and cracking in winter, which disturbs pipes and tank lids. Winters are cold and dry. Honey sucker operators and tank suppliers work from the Hamilton and Bloemfontein industrial areas, and many serve farms across the central Free State.
Typical septic tank service requests in the area come from:
- Houses: a yearly inspection and small repairs to keep the tank and drains working
- Smallholdings and plots: checking large tanks and long drainage runs before they fail in the rainy season
- Farms and game farms: servicing homestead and worker housing tanks together, with simple repairs on the day
- Restaurants, shops and offices: scheduled checks for restaurants and offices, with a record for the landlord
- Schools, churches and clinics: annual inspections at schools and clinics, with reports for the governing body
- Estates and complexes: a maintenance contract covering inspections and filter cleaning across shared tanks
- Factories, mines, sites and events: inspecting site and staff facility tanks for compliance and safe working
