Septic tanks and drainage in Randfontein
Randfontein has an old mining history and a mix of sewered town areas and unsewered ones. Many holdings around Randgate, Greenhills and the farms toward Westonaria use septic tanks, while some industrial users rely on bulk tanker collection. Old mine ground and shallow rock make soakaways hard to dig, and some plots sit near dolomite, so leaks are best dealt with fast. Informal settlements in the wider municipality often use communal toilets serviced by tankers. Honey sucker operators work from the Randfontein industrial area and Aureus, with Krugersdorp crews close, and most jobs are done within two days. Ask for a written quote before the truck arrives.

Typical conservancy tanks requests in the area come from:
- 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
- Farms and game farms: a sealed tank near a borehole or river where discharge is not allowed
- Factories, mines, sites and events: bulk holding tanks for sites and works that must not discharge on the ground
- 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
- Estates and complexes: large linked tanks for a complex awaiting a sewer, with a pump-out schedule
