Septic tanks and drainage in Pretoria

Pretoria spreads over a lot of ground the sewer network never reached. Smallholdings around Mooikloof, Zwavelpoort, the east and the north towards Roodeplaat rely on septic tanks and soakaways, while older homes in Tshwane suburbs may still have conservancy tanks. The east has expansive clay that holds water around a soakaway, and the Magaliesberg foothills are shallow and rocky. Parts of the south sit on dolomite, where leaking tanks can cause problems below the surface. Honey sucker operators and drain contractors work from Silverton, Waltloo and Pretoria West and reach most plots the same day, though long hose runs on big holdings may add time.

Typical honey sucker services requests in the area come from:

• Smallholdings and plots: a 10 kL truck with extra hose for long driveways, gravel roads and big tanks
• Houses: a small or mid-size truck that fits the street and reaches the tank in one visit
• Estates and complexes: a large truck on a scheduled round, with gate access arranged through security
• Schools, churches and clinics: a large tanker booked for holidays, with paperwork for the school or clinic
• Farms and game farms: a rugged truck that handles dirt roads, with several tanks cleared in one trip
• Restaurants, shops and offices: a regular operator who knows the site and works around trading hours
• Factories, mines, sites and events: high-capacity trucks and several loads per day for sites with waste records
