When a septic tank is no longer used because of an alternate connection to city sewer, the tank must be properly abandoned or removed. This applies to old cesspools, leaching pits, dry wells, seepage pits, vault privies, and pit privies. Access for future uses must be permanently denied.
Every jurisdiction may have different specific abandonment or removal requirements and must be followed. The goal is to render the area of the old tank safe and free of environmental or public health impacts.
In general, a septic tank must first be completely emptied of its contents using a vacuum truck operated by an appropriately licensed professional who will properly dispose of the waste at an approved facility.
Crush the tank completely.
In many cases, the leach field may be abandoned in place if approved by the local jurisdiction.
