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.
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
- Factories, mines, sites and events: a plant for a mine camp or factory, with sampling and waste records
- Houses: rarely used at a house; a septic tank or biodigester is normally enough
- Lodges, guesthouses and venues: a plant sized for peak guest numbers, reusing water on lawns in dry regions
- Farms and game farms: a plant for worker housing and a packhouse, with treated water for irrigation
- Schools, churches and clinics: a plant for a boarding school, clinic or hospital with steady, large flows
- 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
Local tips for Rustenburg
Most work in Rustenburg is done by teams based in honey sucker operators based in Rustenburg and Kroondal, and the usual setup is septic and conservancy tanks on holdings, bulk tanks for mine contractor camps.
