Septic tanks and drainage in Pinetown
Pinetown, Kloof, Hillcrest and the hills around them are largely sewered, but older houses, hillside plots and parts of Mariannhill and Assagay still depend on septic tanks or conservancy tanks. The ground is steep with clay soils that stay wet after thunderstorms, so soakaways on slopes can seep out downhill instead of draining away. Many owners switch to sealed tanks or raise the drainage field away from the boundary. Factories in New Germany and Westmead use grease traps and conservancy tanks on their sites. Honey sucker trucks reach most plots easily from the main roads, though steep driveways can limit hose runs and tanker size.
Typical sewage treatment plants requests in the area come from:
- Houses: rarely used at a house; a septic tank or biodigester is normally enough
- Smallholdings and plots: a small plant for a large smallholding with several homes and heavy use
- Factories, mines, sites and events: a plant for a mine camp or factory, with sampling and waste records
- Restaurants, shops and offices: a plant for a mall, hotel or filling station away from the sewer network
- Estates and complexes: a package plant for a whole estate, with treated water used on common gardens
- Schools, churches and clinics: a plant for a boarding school, clinic or hospital with steady, large flows
