Conservancy Tanks in North West
Conservancy tanks in North West are most often chosen where the ground is too wet or too rocky for drainage, or where a sewer has not yet reached the area. Tell suppliers the stand size, the water use and how far the nearest truck access is, so those serving North West and the rest of North West can recommend a tank size.

Septic tanks and drainage in North West
North West has many properties off the sewer, from Rustenburg's fast growing suburbs and informal settlements to farms around Lichtenburg and Vryburg. Around Hartbeespoort and Brits, homes and lodges on rocky Magaliesberg slopes and the dam edge use septic tanks, conservancy tanks and small treatment plants, and shallow rock makes soakaways hard to dig. Maize and cattle farms use septic tanks and french drains at the homestead and worker housing. Mines and construction camps around the platinum belt need bulk pump-outs and portable toilets. Clay patches hold water after summer storms. Honey sucker operators and tank suppliers work mainly from Rustenburg, Brits, Klerksdorp and Potchefstroom.
Typical conservancy tanks requests in the area come from:
- Farms and game farms: a sealed tank near a borehole or river where discharge is not allowed
- Smallholdings and plots: a holding tank where rock or a high water table rules out a soakaway
- Houses: a sealed tank for a house on a small stand where a drainage field will not fit
- Factories, mines, sites and events: bulk holding tanks for sites and works that must not discharge on the ground
- Lodges, guesthouses and venues: big tanks with a high-level alarm for chalets in sensitive areas, emptied on a regular round
- Schools, churches and clinics: sealed tanks for a school or clinic, sized for the term-time load
- Restaurants, shops and offices: a holding tank for a shop or filling station with an upstream grease trap
