The septic system is a small, on-site sewage treatment and disposal system buried in the ground. The septic system is comprised of a septic tank and a soil absorbtion area.
The septic tank was patented in London around 1900. Websters Dictionary defines the septic tank as "a tank in which waste matter is decomposed through bacterial action." The modern sepetic tank is a watertight box usually made of precast concrete, concrete blocks, or reinforced fiberglass. When household waste material enters this box, several things occur:
- Organic solid material floats to the surface and forms a layer of what is commonly called "scum." Bacteria in the septic tank biologically convert this material to liquid.
- Inorganic or inert solid materials and the by-products of bacterial digestion sink to the bottom of the tank and form a layer commonly called "sludge".
- Only fairly clear water should exist between the scum and the sludge layers. It is this clear water - and only this clear water - that should overflow into the soil absorption area.
