Answer: Cesspools do not have a leach field, septic tanks have a leach field where water and effluent are treated by bacterial activity. Cesspools are no longer legal anywhere that I know. | Plumbing Zone, Inc. | Answer: A cesspool is the result of accidental waste pooling. A septic system is designed to treat waste. | Bayshore Construction | Answer: A cesspool is an underground collection of waste; a septic tank is an underground collection of waste which is treated and then leached out into the underground regions. | LAW OFFICES/STEVEN W.
