Septic tanks and drainage in Gauteng

Most of Gauteng sits on the municipal sewer, but a large belt does not. Smallholdings around Muldersdrift, Hartbeespoort's eastern edge, Benoni and the Vaal side run septic tanks with soakaways, and older estates and complexes in Midrand, Centurion and Fourways rely on conservancy tanks that need scheduled pump-outs. Dolomite in parts of Pretoria and the West Rand, and heavy clay elsewhere, mean soakaways can fail early or flood in summer storms, so many owners switch to french drains or small treatment plants. East Rand factories add bulk waste. Honey sucker operators, tank suppliers and drainage contractors work from Lanseria, Germiston, Springs and Pretoria's industrial areas.
