Septic tanks and drainage in Rustenburg
Rustenburg is platinum country, and rapid mining growth has left large areas off the sewer or served by overloaded networks. Suburbs like Safari Gardens and Cashan are connected, but smallholdings along the Magaliesberg foothills, farms around Kroondal and Mooinooi, and peri-urban settlements near Phokeng and Boitekong depend on septic tanks, pit conversions and conservancy tanks. Mine contractors and construction camps need bulk tanks and portable toilets. Heavy black turf clay swells in the wet season and cracks in the dry, which breaks drains and tanks. Honey sucker operators work from Rustenburg and Kroondal, and lodges on the Magaliesberg run treatment plants.
Typical septic tank drainage requests in the area come from:
- Smallholdings and plots: repairing or enlarging a field on a smallholding where the soil is heavy or the water table high
- Factories, mines, sites and events: inspecting and rebuilding drainage for site offices, depots and factory ablutions
- Houses: diagnosing a wet lawn and slow drains at an older house on a septic tank
- Lodges, guesthouses and venues: rebuilding fields overloaded by guest numbers, ideally outside the busy season

- Restaurants, shops and offices: diagnosing fields at shops, restaurants and filling stations where trading must continue
- Estates and complexes: inspecting shared fields for a complex, with a written report for the body corporate
