Septic tanks and drainage in eMalahleni
Much of eMalahleni sits on the municipal sewer, but the town's growth has outrun the network in places.

Honey sucker operators serve the area from the town and the industrial zones, and disposal usually goes to a municipal works.

- Farms and game farms: scheduled emptying of sealed tanks near homesteads and staff housing in sensitive ground
- Restaurants, shops and offices: frequent emptying for shops and offices in town centres with no sewer link
