;Septic tank
:Slovak term: [[Slovenský termín]]
# Watertight chamber for the retention, partial treatment, and discharge for further
# treatment, of sewage (WHO 1992).
# An underground tank that passively treats wastewater by a combination of solids settling
# and anaerobic digestion. The effluents may be discharged or may overflow into soak pits or
# small-bore sewers (WHO 2006).

==Explanation==
A septic tank is a water tight tank, usually located just below ground, with one or two
compartments. Waste is flushed into the tank by water from a pipe that is connected to the
toilet. It functions as a storage tank for settled solids and floating materials (e.g. oils and
grease). Some of the solids float on the surface, where they are known as scum, while
others sink to the bottom where they are broken down by bacteria to form a deposit called
sludge. The storage time of the wastewater in the tank is usually between 2 and 4 days. The
overflow from a septic tank is directed to a leach pit or trench. The liquid effluent flowing
out of the tank is as dangerous to health as raw sewage and should be disposed of, normally
by soaking it into the ground through a soakaway, or by connecting the tank to sewer
systems (WHO 1992).
A septic tank is used to dispose of sewage when a building is isolated from or cannot be
connected to a sewerage system, the sewage being liquefied and purified by active bacteria
where an anaerobic digestion takes place. The excess or overflowing liquid is known as the
effluent (Standards New Zealand 1998).

==Example==
A septic tank is usually rectangular or cylindrical in shape and made of concrete, concrete
blocks, or of a plastic material. It is buried underground on the property of the dwelling it
serves. Alternatives are available including aerobic wastewater treatment systems,
aerobic sand filters, composting toilets, reed beds and other systems utilising wastewater
treatment technologies. Connection to a community disposal scheme may also be an
alternative where available (World Plumbing Council Working Group 2008).
