Septic tanks and drainage in Brits
Brits is an irrigation and industrial town below the Magaliesberg, with the sewer serving the central suburbs and not much beyond them. The agricultural holdings around Hartbeespoort, Schoemansville, Damonsville and the Crocodile River valley rely on septic tanks and french drains, and the weekend and holiday houses by the dam add seasonal loads. Black clay and alluvial soil near the river and the dam are poorly draining and the water table is high, which is hard on soakaways. Factory sites and farm worker housing use conservancy tanks. Honey sucker operators work from Brits and Hartbeespoort, and the Gauteng side supplies tanks and plant.

Typical septic tank installation requests in the area come from:
- Smallholdings and plots: a full system on a smallholding, with a larger field and a long pipe run
- Farms and game farms: separate systems for the homestead and worker housing, kept clear of boreholes
- Houses: a new tank and drainage field for a house built or extended away from the sewer
- Factories, mines, sites and events: site tanks for construction camps and workshops, installed to a set programme
- Lodges, guesthouses and venues: larger tanks and fields sized for guest numbers, often with a treatment plant
- Estates and complexes: tanks and drainage laid for each stand or shared units before the units are occupied
- Restaurants, shops and offices: approved systems for shops, restaurants and offices outside the sewer network
Local tips for Brits
Most work in Brits is done by teams based in honey sucker operators in Brits and Hartbeespoort, and the usual setup is septic tanks and french drains on holdings, conservancy tanks at factories. When you ask for quotes, ask whether the soakaway was sized for a dam-side house, not a weekend cottage.
Septic Tank Installation usually means excavate, bed, level, connect and drain, for 2,500 to 10,000 L tanks for homes, one-off job, 2 to 4 days on site. Ground in the area: black clay and a high water table near the dam and river: slow drainage.
What to include in your request
- Plot size and where the house drain leaves the building
- Number of bedrooms or people using the system
- Distance to any borehole, well, boundary or stream
- Soil type, rock or a high water table if known
- Whether municipal approval and plans are done or needed
