What Is A Septic Tank?
A septic tank is a watertight, underground container for receiving, treating and settling human waste. The solids settle to the bottom of the tank and become sludge, while oils and other light materials float to the surface forming a scum layer. Within the tank, anaerobic bacteria break down the solid wastes.

When a septic tank is working properly, these bacteria can reduce solids by 50% to 60%. The liquid, between the sludge on the bottom of the tank and scum on the top, flows out of the tank into the dispersal area or drain field, where the remainder of the biological breakdown and filtration occurs in the soil.

The sludge and surface oils remaining in the septic tank need to be regularly pumped out and hauled away for proper disposal. Proper system design, installation, operation, and maintenance will ensure that harmful biological organisms will be treated before reaching groundwater. A septic system is an important permanent part of a home or business which, when maintained and operated correctly, will last quite a long time.
