My parents were the original owner of the same exact house down the block. Almost 50 years ago. My wife and I bought the same model house as my parents house 4 years ago. I’m pretty well versed in this style of house and the oil tanks were placed in the back of the house. They have a fill pipe and a vent pipe about 2’ from each other.

The pipe I’m talking about is in front of the house. You can clearly hear water flowing if you stand near this pipe. These houses were built with sewer and never had any sort of septic tank.

I guess one day I’ll dump my green hose down this pipe for a bit to test things out. If all is well then I’ll look into dumping the TT there in the future.

If you want to make things easier, dig down around that pipe and you will find a clean out cover. Unscrew the cover and put a PVC fitting in so you can raise it to just below grade and put a fitting for a 4" plug to screw in. Then you can use standard sewer fittings even if you are using a macerator. The clean out plug may never be used and if it needs to be used all you have to do is unscrew your extension. By keeping it just below grade it will be your secret.
