A Sealed
Cesspool Unit
(sometimes called a cesspit)
|
CESSPOOL ( Sometimes called a Cesspit)
A
"Cesspool"
is a large
holding tank that is completely sealed having only an inlet and a
vented air outlet. A cesspool is designed to hold all sewage and waste
effluent and does not carry out any treatment or any discharge from the
tank.
It
is common for the
average domestic homeowner to refer to the tank at the bottom of the
garden as
"the Cesspit". The term cesspit is either describing a
sealed cesspool or a septic tank and soakaway. As a cesspool (cesspit)
holds
all waste water and can only be emptied via a suction tanker
you will appreciate that the annual running cost of a cesspool is very
high. A septic tank should only require a desludge once a year.
Cesspool
units are
normally installed in poor draining areas and where a septic tank or
treatment plant would not be suitable. At MTM drains we always consider
the options that are available to your site and we can provide a
report and quotation for the preferred system.
