I can't seem to locate the access holes to my cesspool. Any tips? I'm assuming its in the front yard somewhere near where the waste pipe exits the house, but I don't see any access holes.

Cesspools in both the Nassau houses I had lived in were completely buried. No access holes. The overflow pool in my current home is completely buried, too. We had to locate it once, so now I keep a bird bath over it for future occasions.

We had to have a cesspool guy use a camera to find it.
How the hell does Long Island, which is so densely populated, not have city sewage? And then, if not city sewer, no septic systems? Even way the hell out in western NJ, everyone either has city sewer (prolly 75%) or a septic system. No cesspools here.
And then no one is hooked up to gas, everyone has oil tanks. So when they leak, they go right into the nice sandy soil with high groundwater. And the taxes are $12k a year?!
Seems like running gas and sewers into these densely populated towns would make huge financial sense, plus protect the environment. I just don't get it.
I lived in Suffolk for 11 years. I never put rid-x or any other product in. Besides the cesspool, we had an "overflow" cesspool. We had to pump once in all the years we lived there.

I agree. It's arcaic. And I don't understand why new construction builders are still opting for septic/oil when gas/sewers are sometimes available.
