What's the difference between a septic system and a cesspool?
assistant
The primary difference between a septic tank and a cesspool is that a septic tank is designed to treat wastewater from a home, while a cesspool is not. A septic tank typically consists of a large underground concrete tank with a lid or cover, which collects and treats human waste before it enters the soil. Cesspools are usually smaller in size and do not have any type of treatment process.
