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 service requests in the area come from:
- Schools, churches and clinics: annual inspections at schools and clinics, with reports for the governing body
- 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
- Smallholdings and plots: checking large tanks and long drainage runs before they fail in the rainy season
- Restaurants, shops and offices: scheduled checks for restaurants and offices, with a record for the landlord
- Lodges, guesthouses and venues: six-monthly inspections before busy periods so a failure never hits full rooms
- Estates and complexes: a maintenance contract covering inspections and filter cleaning across shared tanks
