The cesspool at my home is 70+ years old and has never needed servicing.
Really? I have a septic tank (on the mainland) which consists of a tank and drain field. Normal maintenance is to have it pumped out every couple of years. If you don't, the solids will build up to the point where they will go into the drain field and clog it up. Then you have to replace the whole thing.
Mine is about 60 years old and works well, however it has always been pumped out regularly.
