This thing was custom poured, not prefab, probably when
the house was built. The opening is roughly a 3 foot
square lid about two feet away from the house and about
six feet from the kitchen door. It's at least six feet
deep, maybe a 10 foot square. The wall away from the house
is perpendicular to the ground, but the wall opposite it
slopes to somewhere under the house. The field line that
once drained it's former function was clay pipe that
collapsed (thus, the problem). As a container it appears
relatively water tight (maybe good for a septic, not good
for a cellar?). If it leaks, it is minimal as we tested
our well when all this came to light and they told us
there was not enough nitrogen in the sample to have been
contaminated by the septic tank.

Do you like to eat fish?
