How Do Septic Systems Work?
Properties not connected to municipal sewer lines must provide their own water and sewage systems. A septic system is used when there is no way to connect to city or county water systems. A septic system includes
- A septic tank
- Pipes coming from the home
- A drain field, where additional processing of treated wastewater from the septic tank takes place.
- Billions of bacteria that help process waste.
Wastewater enters the septic system on one end from the home’s pipes. Solid waste falls to the bottom of the septic tank (sludge), oils and grease float to the top (scum), and the processed wastewater that remains in the middle (effluent) moves into the drain field through an outlet baffle for further processing. The partially-treated wastewater percolates in the drain field, meaning it’s filtered through gravel and soil. Microbes in the soil treat the effluent before it reaches groundwater, and the process continues.
