Sewage Treatment Plants in Gauteng

Sewage treatment plants in Gauteng are mainly wanted by estates, lodges, schools and industrial sites that sit beyond the municipal network or have outgrown a septic system. Give the daily flow, the number of users and where treated water will go, so suppliers serving Gauteng and the rest of Gauteng can propose a suitable plant.

Want to know more first? Our sewage treatment plants guide covers the options, what to check and what affects the price.

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.

Typical sewage treatment plants requests in the area come from:

  • Smallholdings and plots: a small plant for a large smallholding with several homes and heavy use
  • Houses: rarely used at a house; a septic tank or biodigester is normally enough
  • Estates and complexes: a package plant for a whole estate, with treated water used on common gardens
  • Restaurants, shops and offices: a plant for a mall, hotel or filling station away from the sewer network
  • Factories, mines, sites and events: a plant for a mine camp or factory, with sampling and waste records
  • Schools, churches and clinics: a plant for a boarding school, clinic or hospital with steady, large flows
  • Lodges, guesthouses and venues: a plant sized for peak guest numbers, reusing water on lawns in dry regions

Local tips for Gauteng

Most work in Gauteng is done by teams based in operators based around Lanseria, Germiston, Springs and Pretoria industrial areas, and the usual setup is septic tanks and soakaways on plots, conservancy tanks in estates and complexes. When you ask for quotes, ask for a disposal slip showing where the load was legally tipped.

Sewage Treatment Plants usually means aerated plant: activated sludge or MBBR, for 5 to 500 kL a day, built to suit, serviced monthly, sludge removed as needed. Ground in the area: dolomite in parts and heavy clay: soakaways fail early in wet summers.

What to include in your request

  • Daily flow in kilolitres, or the number of users
  • Where treated water will go: irrigation, dam or river
  • Power supply on site, or a generator or solar
  • Plant type preferred: activated sludge, MBBR or open
  • Whether you need servicing and sampling after commissioning

The more detail you give, the more accurate your quote will be.
