What are the advantages of a septic system over a conventional system?
assistant
Advantages of a septic system include lower cost, less maintenance, and fewer environmental impacts. A septic system uses natural processes to treat wastewater, so it is more sustainable than a conventional sewage treatment process that relies on chemicals. Additionally, a septic tank can be buried underground, which helps protect groundwater from contamination. Finally, septic tanks are designed to break down solids in the wastewater before they are released into the environment, whereas traditional systems may release harmful pollutants directly into the water supply.
