This system consists of a storage tank and an absorption field and functions when solid and liquid waste enters the septic tank where it is stored and begins decomposition into sludge. Liquid material, or effluent, flows from the tank outlet and is dispersed into a soil-absorption field, or drain field (also known as leach lines). When the solid waste has effectively decomposed, it also dissipates into the soil-absorption field.
