I have seen quite a few homes in the Indianapolis area with two (2) separate pits in the basement..one for the sump pump and the other for the sewage ejector pump.

When we remodeled our basement back in '98, we installed a basement bathroom. We used a basic sewage/ejector/effluent pump. The pump is located in the crawlspace, in a sump pit. We have city sewer, though, so I don't know how it would be different if using a septic tank.

In some cases the sewer line exits the house at a level higher than the basement slab, and the bathroom in the basement then has to be pumped up to the sewer line. This requires a grinder pump, as well as a checkvalve to keep the sewer from draining back into the basement.
No sump pump here but for ever before moving here. Depending on drainage and lot elevation your sump pump could run a lot or rarely. Here I can only say wow with the clay soil( slow to absorb water) and a flat lot and a basement. A lot depends on the slope of your yard etc.
