Septic tanks and drainage in Benoni

Benoni has a classic East Rand split: older suburbs like Rynfield, Lakefield and Northmead on the sewer, and a large ring of agricultural holdings in Bapsfontein, Putfontein and Kleinfontein on septic tanks. Many of those plots have soakaways that were never sized for modern household water use, and the area's seasonal wetlands and pans raise the water table in summer. Owners often add a conservancy tank or upgrade to a bigger septic tank. Honey sucker operators and tank suppliers work from Benoni industrial areas and Daveyton's edge, and plots in Bapsfontein sometimes face long hose runs. Ask your operator how far the hose reaches.
