Septic tanks and drainage in Rustenburg
Rustenburg is platinum country, and rapid mining growth has left large areas off the sewer or served by overloaded networks. Suburbs like Safari Gardens and Cashan are connected, but smallholdings along the Magaliesberg foothills, farms around Kroondal and Mooinooi, and peri-urban settlements near Phokeng and Boitekong depend on septic tanks, pit conversions and conservancy tanks. Mine contractors and construction camps need bulk tanks and portable toilets. Heavy black turf clay swells in the wet season and cracks in the dry, which breaks drains and tanks. Honey sucker operators work from Rustenburg and Kroondal, and lodges on the Magaliesberg run treatment plants.
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
- Factories, mines, sites and events: emptying holding tanks on building sites and factories where there is no treatment
- Houses: emptying a sealed tank every few weeks where the stand has no sewer or soakaway
- Lodges, guesthouses and venues: extra emptying in peak season, with a level alarm to avoid overflows near guests
- Farms and game farms: scheduled emptying of sealed tanks near homesteads and staff housing in sensitive ground
- Schools, churches and clinics: scheduled collections for schools and churches, with receipts for the records
- 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
