Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A septic system is a rural method of processing wastewater. It is a self-contained, underground wastewater system commonly used in areas without centralized sewer systems. The septic tank receives wastewater from the home and separates solids from liquids. The liquid (effluent) is then dispersed into the soil via a drain field, where it is naturally filtered and treated.
