Septic tanks and drainage in North West
North West has many properties off the sewer, from Rustenburg's fast growing suburbs and informal settlements to farms around Lichtenburg and Vryburg. Around Hartbeespoort and Brits, homes and lodges on rocky Magaliesberg slopes and the dam edge use septic tanks, conservancy tanks and small treatment plants, and shallow rock makes soakaways hard to dig. Maize and cattle farms use septic tanks and french drains at the homestead and worker housing. Mines and construction camps around the platinum belt need bulk pump-outs and portable toilets. Clay patches hold water after summer storms. Honey sucker operators and tank suppliers work mainly from Rustenburg, Brits, Klerksdorp and Potchefstroom.
Typical plastic septic tanks requests in the area come from:
- Farms and game farms: tanks for worker housing and farmstalls, often delivered a long way from town
- Smallholdings and plots: a light tank that one truck can deliver to a remote building site

- Factories, mines, sites and events: tanks for site offices and ablutions on construction sites and small works
