Actually, a sewer line replaces a septic tank. Newer/older. Older houses, houses away from 'civilization', any place without existing/planned sewers will have septic tanks.
Big tank, in the ground, no easy access. You excavate, remove top, empty, reseal, bury again. Repeat as needed, decades normally between servicing.

Not cheap, not pretty. But, it works.
