The word “sewer” dates from the 1400s and is derived from the Middle French word "esseweur," "to drain off." Six hundred years later, the meaning remains the same: It describes pipe, conduit, or drain buried underground and designed to carry off waste water and matter.

The earliest type of septic tank was known as a "cesspool" and was invented by the ancient Romans. A large stone vat was built to hold human waste. Solids settled at the bottom and lighter items floated to the top. That partially cleaned liquid at the top was then drained into a body of water nearby, such as a river or the sea.
