What are the key features of a septic tank?
A septic tank is a crucial component of an on-site wastewater treatment system. Its primary function is to separate solids and scum from the liquid wastewater. These solids settle at the bottom as sludge, while lighter materials like grease and oil float to the top as scum. The remaining liquid then flows out to a drain field for further treatment in the soil.
