Yes, if your house has a septic tank water from the sink and bath will eventually goes to the septic tank.
However if your house is equipped with a fully dual grey water/black water sewage system, water from the sink and bath will first go to the grey water storage tank, the toilet will fill its tank from the grey water storage tank then flush through the black water pipes to the septic tank.

A "septic tank"
septic tank
Household waste goes into a septic tank, surface runoff goes into a lake.
Tanks that collect waste water are known as "Septic Tanks". These are mostly used for residential and small commercial properties in areas that are not served by Public Sewer facilities. Septic Tanks are typically made of high-strength cast concrete, often reinforced with steel bars or mesh. They typically have a capacity of approximately 900 to 2500 gallons.
Sewage is a waste water from houses and other institutions, industries while septic tank is a treatment unit for sewage from small communities
Septic tanks are large tanks placed in the ground used to dispose of sewage in homes that are not connected to a city waste system. The sewage goes into the tank and is broken down by the bacteria in the tank. The liquid flows out of the tank into special pipes that allow the water to soak into the soil.
Where can I find information on septic tanks? You can find information on septic tanks at http://completewatersystems.com/products/? . The industry is called Xylem , the Motto is "Let's solve Water."
A person might find information on how septic tanks work on different Internet websites. The best information out there on septic tanks seems to be on sites such as Ask, HowStuffWorks, Local, and Water EPA.
What comes out of the landfills and septic tanks goes into the water. I would rather not drink someone's sewage.
Ground water can get into most older septic tanks through gaps in the concrete.
As long as sewage tanks do not leak, they make no difference to the environment. Many homes across north America are not on municipal sewer and therefore have to have sewage tanks to separate waste before the black water goes to the septic field. In good shape these do not hurt the environment.
