Septic tanks and drainage in Pinetown
Pinetown, Kloof, Hillcrest and the hills around them are largely sewered, but older houses, hillside plots and parts of Mariannhill and Assagay still depend on septic tanks or conservancy tanks. The ground is steep with clay soils that stay wet after thunderstorms, so soakaways on slopes can seep out downhill instead of draining away. Many owners switch to sealed tanks or raise the drainage field away from the boundary. Factories in New Germany and Westmead use grease traps and conservancy tanks on their sites. Honey sucker trucks reach most plots easily from the main roads, though steep driveways can limit hose runs and tanker size.
Typical concrete septic tanks requests in the area come from:
- Houses: a concrete tank to replace or repair an old two-chamber tank at an off-sewer house
- Smallholdings and plots: stacked rings for a smallholding where a crane truck can reach the site
- Factories, mines, sites and events: heavy-duty tanks for depots and works where trucks pass over the lids
- Restaurants, shops and offices: a heavy tank behind a shop or garage, often under a parking area
- Estates and complexes: a large built-in-place tank shared by cottages, with a lid rated for vehicles
- Schools, churches and clinics: large tanks for schools and churches, repaired during school holidays
