My basement is one third dirt. I recently put in a battery backup sump pump but had to dig a new hole. Do I fill in the old hole?

Not much to go on. Why the new hole? Typically a sump pump pit isn't just a hole. There
are drain pipes laid around the perimeter of the foundation that lead to it, so it can
collect water across the basement, not just in one localized spot.
