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.

- Smallholdings and plots: checking large tanks and long drainage runs before they fail in the rainy season
- Factories, mines, sites and events: inspecting site and staff facility tanks for compliance and safe working

- Lodges, guesthouses and venues: six-monthly inspections before busy periods so a failure never hits full rooms

- Schools, churches and clinics: annual inspections at schools and clinics, with reports for the governing body
- Restaurants, shops and offices: scheduled checks for restaurants and offices, with a record for the landlord
