<human>: What is the difference between a septic tank and a septic field?
<bot>: A septic tank is a small, underground chamber that contains wastewater from a home's plumbing system. It is designed to filter out solids and bacteria before releasing the treated water into the soil. A septic field is a large area of land where multiple septic tanks are installed. The treated water from the septic tanks flows into the ground in the septic field and helps to break down waste materials naturally.
