A cesspool refers to any buried chamber, which can take the form of a metal tank, a perforated concrete vault, or a covered hollow or excavation, designed to receive sewage from a building and facilitate its disposal into the ground. According to the Rhode Island Cesspool Act of 2007 (RIGL § 23-19.15), it is mandatory that all cesspools situated within 200 feet of the inland boundary of the coastal shoreline adjacent to a tidal water area must be decommissioned. In such cases, homeowners are required to upgrade their properties either by installing a new onsite wastewater treatment system or by connecting to an existing municipal sewer system.
Furthermore, the Act also stipulates that cesspools located within 200 feet of public wells or within 200 feet of drinking water reservoirs must undergo the same replacement or upgrade process.
