The tank which Stores a waste water of House or building is called Septic Tank. Septic Tank is installed where there is no proper drainage system. In order store, the Wastage or sewage for 10-30 Days Septic tank is constructed and the same is designed.

This tank is usually installed below 1.5m-1.8m from ground level. Waste water coming from sewer Pipes of the house are connected to Septic tank.

Wastewater flows into the tank at one end and leaves the tank on the other end as shown in the figure. The septic tank is drained out with the help of suck out the outlet. The municipal Department suck out the wastage from Septic tank.

In the early 1990’s, the tank is constructed without bottom slab below the tank. Due to seepage from Septic tank, the waste water is mixed with Fresh Water sump. To avoid this, the septic tank is cased up with the bottom slab.
