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 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
- Factories, mines, sites and events: site tanks for construction camps and workshops, installed to a set programme
- Houses: a new tank and drainage field for a house built or extended away from the sewer
- Lodges, guesthouses and venues: larger tanks and fields sized for guest numbers, often with a treatment plant
- Farms and game farms: separate systems for the homestead and worker housing, kept clear of boreholes
- Schools, churches and clinics: large tanks for schools and clinics, with plans signed off by a professional
- 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
