'''A Septic Tank is a watertight chamber made of concrete, fibreglass, PVC or plastic, for the storage and treatment of blackwater and greywater. Settling and anaerobic processes reduce solids and organics, but the treatment is only moderate.'''

A variation of the Septic Tank is called an aqua privy, which is a simple storage and settling tank located directly below the toilet, so that the excreta fall into the tank. A housing or shed is built over the tank. A vent pipe with a fly screen at the top end is attached to the housing.
