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 sewage treatment plants requests in the area come from:
- Schools, churches and clinics: a plant for a boarding school, clinic or hospital with steady, large flows
- Houses: rarely used at a house; a septic tank or biodigester is normally enough
- Farms and game farms: a plant for worker housing and a packhouse, with treated water for irrigation
- Smallholdings and plots: a small plant for a large smallholding with several homes and heavy use
- Restaurants, shops and offices: a plant for a mall, hotel or filling station away from the sewer network
- Lodges, guesthouses and venues: a plant sized for peak guest numbers, reusing water on lawns in dry regions
- Estates and complexes: a package plant for a whole estate, with treated water used on common gardens
