F’ing Septic Tanks

Depending on design, up here the tanks may be of different design, but the collars are a common place to leak, or the lids themselves. I had issues but added a weeping tile to redirect some groundwater and it was solved.
My other tank is a holding tank, and it filled in the fall. There is definitely a leak at the collar or where pipe goes in. I have to dig around and reseal it.

One of my collars on the discharge pipe was leaking when I dug it up. So I used hydraulic cement to try and plug it. I waited a few days and did not see any water leaking. So maybe my inlet and the lids are still letting in water. I filled any low spots on my hill with soil and added new sod. I may see the risers and maybe even a French drain all the rain rolls down hill and hits my walkway right where the septic tank is.
