Septic tanks and drainage in Centurion

Centurion is mostly sewered, but older holdings and fringe areas such as Irene farms, Raslouw and parts of Zwartkop still run septic tanks. Many estates and complexes use shared conservancy tanks or small treatment plants that need scheduled pump-outs and checks. A large part of the municipality sits on dolomite, so a leaking tank or blocked drain is taken seriously, and sinkhole risk means water should never be left to pond near a tank. Operators serve the area from Lyttelton, Hennopspark and Sunderland Ridge, and Olifantsfontein is close by. Booking a regular service ahead of the summer rain season avoids overflow call-outs.
