Cesspit Systems

A cesspool or cesspit is a sealed underground storage tank which holds sewage until it is emptied out and disposed of. It may be brick or block construction or manufactured in steel or reinforced glass fibre and must have minimum capacity of 18,000 litres.

A cesspit works in the same way as a septic tank except that it only has one chamber. These types of tanks need to be serviced and de-sludged on a regular basis to ensure the system operates effectively. This operation needs to be carried out by an experienced waste disposal expert and should normally take place every 12 months.
