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.
