If you built a home today, your septic tank will likely be concrete with a field. If build properly, they can be zero maintenance and may not ever have to be pumped out. In the past, you could put any type of septic tank in including: steel tanks, fiberglass tanks, pressure treated wood, or even just a barrel in the ground with a pipe going into a ditch instead of a proper drainage field. Contact the Dept. of Health regarding new construction septic systems.
