Traditional cesspools are simple collection pits that allow wastewater to leach directly into surrounding soil without treatment. Septic systems include a tank that separates solids and treats wastewater before it enters the drain field, providing better environmental protection.
Suffolk County banned new cesspool installations in 2019, requiring all replacements to use septic tank systems at minimum. This change reduces nitrogen pollution that has affected Long Island’s groundwater and waterways.
Modern septic systems cost more initially but provide better waste treatment, longer service life, and compliance with current environmental regulations. They’re also required for any new installation or replacement in Calverton.
