I believe that around here the standard material for waterproofing concrete septic tanks is tar, but maybe some new products have come out. Any suggestions?

Of course, if waterproofing wouldn't be too hard and/or toxic, then that would be ideal, since it would allow me to use the full width of the well.

I've asked twice at a local builders' forum for suggestions, but no-one is interested.
