Hi Saladin; Not sure where you are looking for a solution but traditionally there are only two ways to empty a septic tank: manually or via a vacuum truck. The problem is compounded by the fact that people do not want to manually empty because of the nature of the waste and in some areas social stigmas. That only leaves vacuum trucks which are not always available in rural areas especially the further you get from cities. In case you do manage to find a truck keep an eye on it as I have often found that instead of them taking the sludge to a treatment facility they dump it into a nearby depression or river resulting in pollution entering the environment. I therefore prefer to avoid the entire family of soak pit and septic tank related solutions and have graduated towards using anaerobic digesters. Hope this helps... Sanjay
