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 prices requests in the area come from:
- Houses: pricing a 2,500 to 5,000 L tank and a basic installed system for a house
- Smallholdings and plots: pricing a bigger tank, a longer pipe run and a larger drainage field
- Factories, mines, sites and events: pricing bulk tanks for sites and camps, with delivery to a set date
- Restaurants, shops and offices: pricing heavy duty tanks and installation for shops and restaurants
- Estates and complexes: bulk pricing for several tanks, with a discount for matching sizes
- Schools, churches and clinics: pricing large tanks and compliance work for schools and clinics
