Who invented the Septic Tank?
John Mouras is credited for inventing the septic tank system around the year 1860. The septic tank system is believed to have originated from the country of France. Where Mouras designed the septic tank and built a prototype made from concrete and also made the pipes leading from the septic tank out of clay. Pipes then lead from his house to the septic tank which was located in his back yard.
10 years later John Mouras decided to dismantle his septic tank and to his astonishment found that the tank was emptied of any solid waste and only contained a layer of scum. Mouras then submitted an application for a patent around 1880. The septic tank was then exported to the United States of America and later exported to Africa possibly by the British Navy.
