Our home on soak pits first twenty years with separate pits for rain roof water from down pipes. Fortunately saved somewhat when online sewerage eventually arrived only the soak pits redirected not the fresh water still retained in pit made specifically to capture, dry country every drop counts.
Have fun standing outdoors in the rain watching where water runs naturally 😀
Well I guess it will be a change to standing in the rain waiting to see if any of the water is running under the house!
Everything takes time or getting a free shower outdoors 🙃
