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 septic tank chemicals requests in the area come from:
- Houses: a bacteria starter after a pump-out and a monthly tablet to keep the tank settled
- Restaurants, shops and offices: regular products for tanks and grease lines at restaurants and takeaways
- Estates and complexes: a dosing plan for shared tanks, delivered by the supplier on a schedule
- Factories, mines, sites and events: drums of treatment for site ablution tanks and temporary camps
- Schools, churches and clinics: scheduled supply for schools and clinics, with safety data sheets on file
- Smallholdings and plots: enzyme treatment for a large tank, with a pump-out still planned every few years
