disagree  Ahmad Batiran: Manhole could be the opening for maintenance of the sewer tank but it's not the tank [your Oxford link says about 'manhole': "opening ... leading to a sewer," so it is not THE sewer." Manhole could also be غرفة تفتيش.]

conventional seepage pit


Explanation:
The bayara is basically a cesspit with masonry work lining the pit and a reinforced concrete slab on top.
According to the definitions on this page, a bayara would be a combination of a seepage pit and cesspool. See the figures and pictures.

neutral  Ahmad Batiran: عادة ما يُبنى خزان الصرف الصحي (أو خزان التعفين/التحليل) كما ذُكر أعلاه، وهذا ما يُعرف لدينا هنا بالبيّارة. لكن بعضهم يزيد في ذلك ببناء خزان صغير إضافي موصول بالأول يستوعب ما يفيض منه، ويُسمّى بير، أيّ بئر.

neutral  Ahmad Batiran: Yes, that is true especially in the Palestinian dialect; however, this is out of subject, i.e. drainage, and not in harmony with the context.

Reference: Septic Tank

Reference information:
من المعروف في السعودية معنى كلمة (بيّارة) وهو خزان الصرف الصحّي. كانت المشكلة عندي في عدم معرفتي باستخدام الكلمة بنفس المعنى في سلطنة عُمان، والتوثيق يهمني، إذ كنت أرغب في موقع عُماني يربط كلمة (بيّارة) بكلمة خزان الصرف الصحي.

عموماً بيّارة تستخدم في سلطنة عُمان، بل وأعتقد أنها تُستخدم بنفس المعنى الوارد في السياق.
وقد ظفرت بموقع عُماني عربي إنجليزي يستخدم (خزان الصرف الصحي) ومرادفه الإنجليزي أعلاه.

بالتوفيق

Example sentence(s):
  • كيف تتخلص من خزان الصرف الصحي؟
  • How to Demolish a Septic Tank?
