Thank you.

Yes - did stumple on this - it was actually under the floor and I had to search for it - found it by chance. The washroom was roughed in - and we are on a septic system - so I figured there had to be a pit somewhere.

Thats the inlet to the sewage basin - The basin will be sealed.

Second paragraph "I am now in the process of installing the sewage basin and reasealing the pit" ah - got it...i did not actualy state that i plan on having a bathroom discharge into the pit - sorry I assumed it would have been inferred.

I have a roughed in shower and toilet in the basement. I am on a septic system. This house is about 30 yo and I am not sure of the plumbing below the basement floor. I was able to find the pit for the sewage pump - picture attached. This is about 4 feet deep - it was filled with gravel and...
