Not exactly water, but close. It is what seeps out of the tank into the field lines. Have you been called by a TM looking to sell you a product for your septic system? Thats part of their script.

The septic tank provides primary treatment of sanitary sewage. This means that floatable oils and sinkable grit get trapped. The effluent is what is released by the tank to the drain field, where the bacteria in the soil treats the effluent for BOD & COD.

influent is the water going in, effluent is the water, usually treated, coming out of a treatment plant or other device such as a septic tank.
