Septic tanks and drainage in Centurion
Centurion is mostly sewered, but older holdings and fringe areas such as Irene farms, Raslouw and parts of Zwartkop still run septic tanks. Many estates and complexes use shared conservancy tanks or small treatment plants that need scheduled pump-outs and checks. A large part of the municipality sits on dolomite, so a leaking tank or blocked drain is taken seriously, and sinkhole risk means water should never be left to pond near a tank. Operators serve the area from Lyttelton, Hennopspark and Sunderland Ridge, and Olifantsfontein is close by. Booking a regular service ahead of the summer rain season avoids overflow call-outs.

Typical septic tank pumping requests in the area come from:
- Estates and complexes: timed pumping of several shared tanks in one visit, booked around residents and security
- Smallholdings and plots: pumping a large tank at the end of a long driveway, with extra hose from the truck
- Houses: a quick emergency pump-out when the tank overflows or drains back up after rain
- Restaurants, shops and offices: early morning or late evening pumping for restaurants, shops and filling stations
- Schools, churches and clinics: large tank pumping at schools and clinics during holidays, with a disposal slip
- Factories, mines, sites and events: bulk pumping on factory and building sites, with manifests for the waste record
