Septic tanks and drainage in Cape Town
Cape Town has an extensive sewer, but off-sewer areas are many: Kommetjie, Noordhoek, Hout Bay's upper slopes, Philippi horticultural area, Joostenberg and the Atlantic coast farms rely on septic tanks and conservancy tanks. Sandy soils on the Cape Flats mean a high winter water table, so soakaways flood in the wet months and sealed tanks are common. Granite and shale on the mountain slopes can need rock breaking. Industrial areas such as Montague Gardens and Paarden Eiland use grease traps and conservancy tanks. Honey sucker operators serve the metro from Epping, Montague Gardens and the Cape Flats, and portable toilet hire is busy at events.
