Septic tanks and drainage in Centurion
Centurion is mostly sewered, but older holdings and fringe areas such as Irene farms, Raslouw and parts of Zwartkop still run septic tanks. Many estates and complexes use shared conservancy tanks or small treatment plants that need scheduled pump-outs and checks. A large part of the municipality sits on dolomite, so a leaking tank or blocked drain is taken seriously, and sinkhole risk means water should never be left to pond near a tank. Operators serve the area from Lyttelton, Hennopspark and Sunderland Ridge, and Olifantsfontein is close by. Booking a regular service ahead of the summer rain season avoids overflow call-outs.
Typical septic tank cleaning requests in the area come from:
- Estates and complexes: scheduled emptying of shared conservancy tanks or a treatment plant, with disposal slips
- Smallholdings and plots: a full clean of a large tank with a long hose run from the gate, plus drainage checks
- Houses: a pump-out every few years for the septic tank and soakaway at an off-sewer house
- Restaurants, shops and offices: grease traps, conservancy tanks and drains at restaurants, shops and filling stations
- Schools, churches and clinics: large tanks at schools, churches and clinics cleaned during holidays on a schedule
- Factories, mines, sites and events: bulk pump-outs, portable toilets for sites and events, and waste manifests for compliance
