2. French drain - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_drain

   This form distributes waste water that a septic tank emits. Fin drain This form comprises a subterranean perforated pipe from which extends perpendicularly upward along its length a thin vertical section, denominated the "fin", of aggregate material for drainage to the pipe. The length is 200 mm (7.9 in).

3. Septic tank - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Septic_tank

   A septic tank consists of one or more concrete or plastic tanks of between 4,500 and 7,500 litres (1,000 and 2,000 gallons); one end is connected to an inlet wastewater pipe and the other to a septic drain field. Generally these pipe connections are made with a T pipe, allowing liquid to enter and exit without disturbing any crust on the surface.

4. Septic drain field - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Septic_drain_field

   A septic drain field, a septic tank, and associated piping compose a septic system. The drain field typically consists of an arrangement of trenches containing perforated pipes and porous material (often gravel ) covered by a layer of soil to prevent animals (and surface runoff ) from reaching the wastewater distributed within those trenches.

5. Onsite sewage facility - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onsite_sewage_facility

   The next step is to plug it to the intake and outtake pipes and backfill it with soil. Engineered facilities that use water suspension to transport solids (private septic systems and municipal facilities) typically form a floating layer in their primary settling tank, consisting of low-density liquids such as oils, buoyant solids, and soap foam.

6. Sanitary sewer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanitary_sewer

   Most of the solids are removed by the septic tanks, so the treatment plant can be much smaller than a typical plant. In addition, because of the vast reduction in solid waste, a pumping system, rather than a gravity system, can be used to move the wastewater. The pipes have small diameters, typically 1.5 to 4 inches (4 to 10 cm).

7. Sanitary manhole - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanitary_manhole

   A main component of the base section is a channel that provides a smooth conduit for wastewater to flow from inlet pipe to outlet pipe. The channel is in a U shape formed by a "half pipe" as if a pipe is cut in half and left with the bottom half. The width of the channel should match the inside diameter of the inlet and outlet pipes.
