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 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
- Smallholdings and plots: enzyme treatment for a large tank, with a pump-out still planned every few years
- Factories, mines, sites and events: drums of treatment for site ablution tanks and temporary camps
- 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
- Schools, churches and clinics: scheduled supply for schools and clinics, with safety data sheets on file
