[QUOTE="Paddington, post: 7064796, member: 252"] Sounds like our brick built septic tank, the first smaller chamber tends to gather scale as we have very hard water and as a trap if people put non organic things down the loo ! Ours is emptied once a year, probably the original design was for a family that bathed once a week, didn't have a washing machine or mains water, so the tank would go for years without maintenance. A cesspit just fills until it is full as there is no soakaway, you would need to empty it, in less developed parts of the world they move the outhouse from over the top of it to another empty pit.
