Septic tanks and drainage in Limpopo

Limpopo is hot, dry in most months and very spread out, so many homes, schools and clinics rely on pit toilets, septic tanks or conservancy tanks instead of a sewer. In Polokwane, newer estates and older suburbs mix sewer connections with tanks. Around Tzaneen and Haenertsburg, wetter ground and steep slopes need careful soakaway placement. Game farms and lodges near Hoedspruit and the Waterberg run treatment plants and french drains that peak in the tourist season, and mines near Mokopane, Steelpoort and Lephalale need bulk pump-outs. Operators and tank suppliers are concentrated in Polokwane, with a few in Tzaneen, so distance is the main cost driver.
