Septic tanks and drainage in Randfontein

Randfontein has an old mining history and a mix of sewered town areas and unsewered ones. Many holdings around Randgate, Greenhills and the farms toward Westonaria use septic tanks, while some industrial users rely on bulk tanker collection. Old mine ground and shallow rock make soakaways hard to dig, and some plots sit near dolomite, so leaks are best dealt with fast. Informal settlements in the wider municipality often use communal toilets serviced by tankers. Honey sucker operators work from the Randfontein industrial area and Aureus, with Krugersdorp crews close, and most jobs are done within two days. Ask for a written quote before the truck arrives.
