Septic tanks and drainage in Krugersdorp

Krugersdorp covers a huge area, and beyond the town centre almost everything is on septic or conservancy tanks. Muldersdrift, the Cradle of Humankind, Magaliesburg and the holdings around Kromdraai have lodges, wedding venues, farms and family plots that rely on soakaways and package plants. Dolomite is widespread, so tank leaks must be fixed quickly, and sinkhole risk limits where drainage can be dug. Venues have big seasonal loads on weekends and need frequent pump-outs. Operators serve the area from Chamdor, Factoria and Muldersdrift and can reach remote plots, though dirt roads after rain may add delay. Tell the operator about gate codes and road conditions.
