[QUOTE="dj, post: 238196, member: 1795"] I would say it's neither cistern or well. Well pipes don't come in from the side. If it does it's the first horizontal bore water well I've heard of. The purpose of a cistern is to hold water till you want to take it out. So why would it have a drain pipe. Now what hole in the ground does man make where something flows in and something flows out? Septic tanks Aplusmnt I had a older piece of property that had one on it that sounds about the same. 3' rd and about 5-6' deep. What kind of pipe is this? New PVC? Old black asphalt pipe? Maybe even the old red clay hard fired pipe? Are the pipes exactly at the same height? Does one have a 90 on it that would direct flow down? 3mr might have it right about 2 inlets for a cistern but it seems kinda small to me the way you discribe it. the 3-4 cisterns I worked with were pretty big vessels/structures. The place I had with the septic that is like what you discribe also had a cistern but while the opening was 38-40 inchs it belled out to 12 ft across and 18 ft deep. :shock: Fill it in with dirt and hush up before you place becomes a Hazmat super site. ;-) [/QUOTE]
