Septic Tank
Instead of having city sewer service, the homes in many neighborhoods and subdivisions have septic tanks that are used to collect and store their waste. A septic tank is a settling basin in which solids accumulate at the bottom and are gradually broken down over time by bacterial action. Some of the solid waste that is broken down is liquefied by this bacterial action while the rest accumulates in the bottom. A small amount of fats and oils float to the top of the tank forming a scum layer. In northwest Ohio and southeastern Kentucky, most septic tank systems are connected to a leach field or drainage field. The drain-field consists of long perforated pipes or tiles connected to the septic tank. The network of pipes is laid in gravel-filled trenches or beds in the
soil. Further treatment of wastewater forced out of the septic tank from the accumulation of sludge build up in the tank occurs in the soil beneath the drain-field.The soil below the drain-field provides the final treatment and
disposal of the septic tank effluent or waste matter. After the effluent has passed into the soil, most of it percolates downward and outward, eventually entering the groundwater. A small percentage of it is taken up by plants through their roots or evaporates from the soil.
