== Terminology == In British English, historically, a '''cesspit''' was just a hole dug into the ground, often lined with bricks or stones with gaps between them to collect household sewage and wastewater. The gaps in the lining allowed liquid waste to seep into the surrounding soil, while solid waste accumulated at the bottom of the pit. A '''cesspool''' (in British English) is watertight tank (usually made from plastic or concrete) that is located underground to store sewage and wastewater until it can be removed by a specialist contractor.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Ltd |first=John Davidson (Pipes) |title=Cesspit vs Cesspool: What is the difference? |url=https://www.jdpipes.co.uk/knowledge/sewage-treatment/cesspit-vs-cesspool-what-is-the-difference.html |access-date=2025-02-19 |website=JDP |language=en-GB}}</ref>
