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 plastic septic tanks requests in the area come from:
- Houses: a 2,500 to 5,000 litre buried tank for a new or renovated off-sewer house
- Restaurants, shops and offices: small tanks behind a shop, restaurant or filling station, with a grease trap upstream
- Estates and complexes: a row of plastic tanks serving a few cottages or units on shared ground
- Factories, mines, sites and events: tanks for site offices and ablutions on construction sites and small works
- Schools, churches and clinics: tanks for a rural school or clinic where installation must be quick
- Smallholdings and plots: a light tank that one truck can deliver to a remote building site
