Septic tanks and drainage in Pretoria
Pretoria spreads over a lot of ground the sewer network never reached. Smallholdings around Mooikloof, Zwavelpoort, the east and the north towards Roodeplaat rely on septic tanks and soakaways, while older homes in Tshwane suburbs may still have conservancy tanks. The east has expansive clay that holds water around a soakaway, and the Magaliesberg foothills are shallow and rocky. Parts of the south sit on dolomite, where leaking tanks can cause problems below the surface. Honey sucker operators and drain contractors work from Silverton, Waltloo and Pretoria West and reach most plots the same day, though long hose runs on big holdings may add time.
Typical biodigesters requests in the area come from:
- Smallholdings and plots: a larger digester with biogas for the kitchen and treated water for the garden
- Houses: a compact digester that replaces an old septic tank at an off-sewer house
- Estates and complexes: a shared digester for a small cluster, with approval from the body corporate
- Schools, churches and clinics: a digester for a rural school or clinic where pump-out trucks are far away
- Farms and game farms: digesters for worker housing, sometimes fed with manure to raise biogas output
- Restaurants, shops and offices: a small unit for a roadside shop or office that is far from a sewer
- Factories, mines, sites and events: a site unit for staff ablutions at a quarry, depot or remote works
Local tips for Pretoria
Common here: septic tanks with soakaways on plots, conservancy tanks in older suburbs and estates. Ask each operator or contractor to allow for this: ask about hose length: big holdings may need extra pipe from the road. Help usually comes from operators based in Silverton, Waltloo and Pretoria West.
Biodigesters usually means sealed anaerobic tank with a gas outlet, for 3,000 to 10,000 L household units, inspect yearly, pump rarely. Ground in the area: expansive clay in the east: soakaways saturate; dolomite in the south.
