Septic tanks and drainage in Sasolburg

Sasolburg is a chemical-industry town on the Vaal, and most of its planned suburbs such as Vaalpark are on the municipal sewer. The septic and conservancy work is on the holdings around Deneysville and the Vaal Dam shore, on farms between Sasolburg and Vereeniging, and at industrial sites, builders' camps and contractors that need bulk tanks. Holiday houses and guesthouses by the dam see weekend and festive surges. Grey sandy soil near the river and a higher water table limit absorption, and groundwater near the dam needs protection. Honey sucker operators serve Sasolburg from the town and from Vanderbijlpark, and industrial clients often want waste manifests.
