assistant
The main difference between a septic system and a sewage system is that a septic system uses an underground tank to store wastewater, while a sewage system transports wastewater through pipes or sewers. A septic system typically consists of a septic tank, which collects and treats waste water from the home, and a drain field, which filters out solids and releases clean water back into the environment.
