Regardless of what type of septic system you use (except for the out house) it has to be cleaned out every few years. Of course, if you use a sewer system, it all goes to the treatment plant, but if you are out in the country or the sewer system ain't working? Even a cess-pit has to be cleaned out or filled in. Chest high waders and a bucket on a rope? What do you do with the "sludge"? Here has been my experiences (mainly because my family didn't have any money so we did it on the cheap). Using the oldest & tallest child (me) dressed in as little as possible, bail out the septic tank and put the "sludge" in a 55 gallon barrel. Rod out the entry and exit pipes so the liquid will flow out to the drain fields. Transfer the "sludge" to a smaller barrel and "cook" it over another 55 gallon barrel to sterilize. Spread resulting goo over pasture land to encourage grass growth for cattle/livestock. Granted this may not be the way everyone would do it, but maybe something to think about.
