Definately more expensive. Septic tanks are part of a septic system which supposedly makes the waste water safer before returning it to the ground.
I got a price for a "Board of Health" septic system a few years ago that was more than double the price of adding a couple of cesspool rings to my existing system.

Supposedly the environment, but the truth is the only way to protect the environment is sewers for all and waste treatment plants. Smithtown has no waste sewers, it's a damn shame with all these old cesspools failing and polluting our water supply and no one is talking about doing anything about it.
If you need a new pool it runs between $3000 and $5000 depending on who you use. They don't do away with the old pool, just run a pipe from the old one to the new one, unless the old one is crumbling, them the old one has to be pumped out and filled with dirt and your house waste pipe run directly to the new one
I just found that English septic provides satisfactory septic services in NJ. They pump a cesspool on reasonable prices. English septic's guys always perform their job in a professional way.

Twice a year? I've only had ours pumped once, and that was two years ago (not long after we bought the house, and I was told it was pretty empty, even though the previous owners had NO CLUE if/when they ever pumped it). So... I probably don't need to do it again this year? I don't hear any gurgling... have had no sewage floods but I'd rather be proactive than reactive.
In an area with good drainage, what is the "norm" frequency for pumping, if there can be such a thing?
