Septic tanks and drainage in Rustenburg
Rustenburg is platinum country, and rapid mining growth has left large areas off the sewer or served by overloaded networks. Suburbs like Safari Gardens and Cashan are connected, but smallholdings along the Magaliesberg foothills, farms around Kroondal and Mooinooi, and peri-urban settlements near Phokeng and Boitekong depend on septic tanks, pit conversions and conservancy tanks. Mine contractors and construction camps need bulk tanks and portable toilets. Heavy black turf clay swells in the wet season and cracks in the dry, which breaks drains and tanks. Honey sucker operators work from Rustenburg and Kroondal, and lodges on the Magaliesberg run treatment plants.
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
- Factories, mines, sites and events: a site unit for staff ablutions at a quarry, depot or remote works
- Houses: a compact digester that replaces an old septic tank at an off-sewer house
- Lodges, guesthouses and venues: a digester sized for seasonal guest numbers, paired with a filter bed
- Farms and game farms: digesters for worker housing, sometimes fed with manure to raise biogas output
- Schools, churches and clinics: a digester for a rural school or clinic where pump-out trucks are far away
- Restaurants, shops and offices: a small unit for a roadside shop or office that is far from a sewer
- Estates and complexes: a shared digester for a small cluster, with approval from the body corporate
