Is the a sewerage treatment plan near you place. Also normally if only 1 pot hole in your house compound then is centralise. If 2 pot hole then is individual tank because one is sludge and the other is "filtered". By the way I have sheen the filter is normally just a lot of small stones in a pit between the tank.

if see oni 1 manhole in ur backyard means no septic tank lah

dat 1 is inspection chamber cover

how to know it's inspection chamber?

open up and see; inspection chamber is 1.5-2m deep

near the bottom u will see pipes slightly protruding from the walls; these r the wastage pipes from ur toilets, kitchen etc

bottom is 4 sloped sides with a pipe directly in the centre

and most importantly, it is relatively dry; IT SHUD NOT B FILLED UP WITH WATER

if u see water it means u got a clog oredi, RIP
