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 conservancy tank emptying requests in the area come from:
- Houses: emptying a sealed tank every few weeks where the stand has no sewer or soakaway
- Smallholdings and plots: regular emptying where the ground cannot take drainage, with fewer visits for big tanks
- Factories, mines, sites and events: emptying holding tanks on building sites and factories where there is no treatment
- Restaurants, shops and offices: frequent emptying for shops and offices in town centres with no sewer link
- Estates and complexes: fixed weekly collections for shared sealed tanks, with gate access booked in advance
- Schools, churches and clinics: scheduled collections for schools and churches, with receipts for the records
