Sewer systems are most often used in the cities and suburbs, but further into the country it may become expensive to use these systems and homeowners therefore use septic tank systems instead. A septic tank is basically a concrete or steel tank that is used to separate out the different parts of wastewater, the water is then sent into a drain field in perforated pipes which slowly gets released into the ground and the nutrients in it are used by the grass or other plants in the area. A sewer system, used in urban areas, however will collect the wastewater from a number of different homes and take this to a water treatment plant and may also work more on mechanical means than simply the effect of gravity like the septic tank system.
