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 conservancy tank emptying requests in the area come from:

• Smallholdings and plots: regular emptying where the ground cannot take drainage, with fewer visits for big tanks
• Houses: emptying a sealed tank every few weeks where the stand has no sewer or soakaway
• 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
• 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
• Factories, mines, sites and events: emptying holding tanks on building sites and factories where there is no treatment

Local tips for Pretoria
