Septic tanks and drainage in Krugersdorp
Krugersdorp covers a huge area, and beyond the town centre almost everything is on septic or conservancy tanks. Muldersdrift, the Cradle of Humankind, Magaliesburg and the holdings around Kromdraai have lodges, wedding venues, farms and family plots that rely on soakaways and package plants. Dolomite is widespread, so tank leaks must be fixed quickly, and sinkhole risk limits where drainage can be dug. Venues have big seasonal loads on weekends and need frequent pump-outs. Operators serve the area from Chamdor, Factoria and Muldersdrift and can reach remote plots, though dirt roads after rain may add delay. Tell the operator about gate codes and road conditions.
Typical soakaway requests in the area come from:
- Smallholdings and plots: a larger pit or two linked pits on a smallholding with space but heavy clay soil
- Lodges, guesthouses and venues: larger or multiple pits that cope with peak guest numbers and seasonal overloading
- Farms and game farms: building pits at homesteads and worker housing, kept well clear of boreholes and dams
- Houses: a new or rebuilt soakaway for an older house whose pit has clogged or flooded
- Estates and complexes: sizing pits for shared tanks on a complex, with a test report for the body corporate
- Restaurants, shops and offices: pits for rural shops, filling stations and restaurants that are not on a sewer
- Schools, churches and clinics: large pits for schools, clinics and churches, designed for heavy daytime use
