Septic tanks and drainage in Johannesburg
Most of Johannesburg is on the municipal sewer, so septic and conservancy tanks turn up in pockets: older homes in the south, plots on the city edge such as Lanseria and Diepsloot, and commercial sites where connections never reached. Conservancy tanks serve some new developments waiting for bulk services, and tanker trips to the Goudkoppies and Olifantsvlei works are common. Rocky ridges and clay mean soakaways drain slowly in summer storms. Honey sucker operators work from the southern and western industrial areas and cover most suburbs the same day, though peak weeks after heavy rain run behind. Ask what size tank you have before booking.
Typical honey sucker services requests in the area come from:
- Houses: a small or mid-size truck that fits the street and reaches the tank in one visit
- Restaurants, shops and offices: a regular operator who knows the site and works around trading hours
- Estates and complexes: a large truck on a scheduled round, with gate access arranged through security
- Factories, mines, sites and events: high-capacity trucks and several loads per day for sites with waste records
- Schools, churches and clinics: a large tanker booked for holidays, with paperwork for the school or clinic
- Smallholdings and plots: a 10 kL truck with extra hose for long driveways, gravel roads and big tanks
