A Septic Tank for the Country 
Home 
Tj'VERY little while the progressive man 
1 ' who has running water in his house and a 
bath room runs up against the old problem of a 
cesspool which fails to work. At best a cess- 
pool is an unsanitary proposition especially if it 
is near enough to neighboring weils to cause 
contamination. State boards of health are 
causing them to be moved when they are too 
near to buildings or to water courses. The 
Method of building forms for the roof of the tank is shown 
here 
septic tank is a thoroughly sanitary device 
which can be placed anywhere. It leaves its 
owner sure in the conviction that there is no 
chance of the polution of well water or that in 
nearby streams and also keeps him secure from 
a visit by the state board of health which may 
cost him considerable money. 
I he ordinary rural home requires a tank 
which can be easily built with local labor and 
with materials except the cement and brick 
which are to be found in practically any lo- 
cality. Such a tank should be five feet long 
and three feet wide inside and have its floor so 
as to give a depth of water in it of two feet or a 
little better. The inlet pipe from the house 
should be set ‘about two inches higher than the 
outlet pipe. These pipes should be fitted with 
tile elbows turned down as is shown in the 
For the walls and floor the forms are built as shown here; 
for details see text 
sketch of interior arrangement. Within the 
tank a brick wall should be laid up far enough 
from the outlet end to give a little clearance 
between the wall and the elbow. 
The tank proper should be made of concrete. 
But little difficulty will be experienced in mak- 
ing this tank and that with the forms. 1 he 
two sketches show clearly the method of build- 
ing the forms which should be done in two 
sections, that is, the forms for the floor and 
walls are built first and poured. Then the in- 
terior wall forms are removed and the forms for 
the roof built.
