Septic tanks and drainage in Kimberley
Kimberley is an old diamond town on a dry plain, and its mainly sewered suburbs such as Hadison Park and Beaconsfield contrast with outlying farms, smallholdings and settlements that use septic tanks or conservancy tanks. Rainfall is low, so soils stay dry, but calcrete, hard rock and old mine workings make excavation slow and soakaway trenches difficult. Old mining ground and ageing pipes cause sewer blockages that residents often mistake for septic problems. Guesthouses and farms toward Barkly West and Ritchie need regular pump-outs. Honey sucker operators serve the area from Kimberley, with long drives to remote farms across the Karoo-like plain.
Typical septic tank service requests in the area come from:
- Houses: a yearly inspection and small repairs to keep the tank and drains working
- 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
- Smallholdings and plots: checking large tanks and long drainage runs before they fail in the rainy season
- Schools, churches and clinics: annual inspections at schools and clinics, with reports for the governing body
- Lodges, guesthouses and venues: six-monthly inspections before busy periods so a failure never hits full rooms
- Factories, mines, sites and events: inspecting site and staff facility tanks for compliance and safe working
