Septic tanks and drainage in Durban
Most of Durban is on the municipal sewer, so septic and conservancy tanks matter in the pockets that are not: older homes on the Bluff and in parts of Westville, new developments on the northern and western edges, and plots in Hillcrest and Waterfall. Sandy coastal ground and a high water table mean soakaways saturate quickly after summer storms, and many sites use sealed conservancy tanks instead. Restaurants and hotels along the beachfront and in Umhlanga need regular grease trap and tank clearing. Honey sucker operators work from the southern basin, Pinetown and the North Coast, and the municipal works accepts loads at designated disposal points.
Typical honey sucker trucks for sale requests in the area come from:
- Houses: rarely bought, though a small tanker may suit a homeowner starting a side business
- Estates and complexes: a dedicated tanker for an estate that empties its own conservancy tanks often
- Restaurants, shops and offices: a tanker for a waste company adding a septic service to its fleet
- Lodges, guesthouses and venues: a small truck for a group of lodges that want to manage waste themselves

- Schools, churches and clinics: a municipal depot truck for emptying school, clinic and community tanks
