Septic tanks and drainage in Pinetown
Pinetown, Kloof, Hillcrest and the hills around them are largely sewered, but older houses, hillside plots and parts of Mariannhill and Assagay still depend on septic tanks or conservancy tanks. The ground is steep with clay soils that stay wet after thunderstorms, so soakaways on slopes can seep out downhill instead of draining away. Many owners switch to sealed tanks or raise the drainage field away from the boundary. Factories in New Germany and Westmead use grease traps and conservancy tanks on their sites. Honey sucker trucks reach most plots easily from the main roads, though steep driveways can limit hose runs and tanker size.
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
- 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
- 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
- Schools, churches and clinics: tanks for a rural school or clinic where installation must be quick
