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 concrete septic tanks requests in the area come from:
- Smallholdings and plots: stacked rings for a smallholding where a crane truck can reach the site
- Houses: a concrete tank to replace or repair an old two-chamber tank at an off-sewer house
- 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
- Farms and game farms: rings and tanks for worker housing, built with local labour and materials
- Restaurants, shops and offices: a heavy tank behind a shop or garage, often under a parking area
- Factories, mines, sites and events: heavy-duty tanks for depots and works where trucks pass over the lids
