How a Septic System Works

Septic systems are wastewater treatment systems that collect, treat, and dispose of wastewater generated by homes or businesses. The wastewater is treated onsite, rather than collected and transported to a centralized community wastewater treatment plant. If properly designed, installed, and maintained, a septic tank system can effectively treat household wastewater for up to 20 years or more.

A septic system consists of two main parts - a septic tank and a drain field, also known as a leach field, disposal field, or a soil absorption system. The entire system is connected by pipes, and a sewer pipe connects the home or business to the septic system.
