What is the purpose of a septic tank in Lynn?
In Lynn, a septic tank serves as the primary component of an onsite wastewater treatment system. Its main purpose is to collect all household wastewater from toilets, sinks, and showers. Inside the tank, solids separate from liquids. The solids settle to the bottom as sludge, while grease and lighter materials float to the top as scum. The partially clarified liquid then flows out to the drain field for further treatment in the soil. This process prevents untreated sewage from contaminating groundwater.
