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 installation requests in the area come from:
- Houses: a new tank and drainage field for a house built or extended away from the sewer
- Smallholdings and plots: a full system on a smallholding, with a larger field and a long pipe run
- Factories, mines, sites and events: site tanks for construction camps and workshops, installed to a set programme
- Restaurants, shops and offices: approved systems for shops, restaurants and offices outside the sewer network
- Estates and complexes: tanks and drainage laid for each stand or shared units before the units are occupied
- Schools, churches and clinics: large tanks for schools and clinics, with plans signed off by a professional
