Understanding Your Septic System

The wastewater from household plumbing enters a central pipe, generally 4 inches in diameter, that connects to the septic tank. Most tanks are made from concrete and are around 8.5 feet long, 5.5 feet wide, and 4.5 feet high. The inlet is usually set about 3 inches above the outlet, and a baffle inside the tank holds floating solids on the inlet side.

The outlet tee, often fitted with a filter, is designed to keep solids from getting into the drainage field. Solids settle at the bottom of the tank, where they are broken down by bacteria and enzymes. The clear water travels through the outlet filter and tee into the field lines, which are typically 4-inch diameter, perforated, corrugated pipes. This setup allows the effluent to percolate through the soil, where it is further cleansed by natural soil filtration and bacteria before reaching the groundwater. The solids remain in the tank until it is pumped out.
