Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Septic systems........

[Chris Rowe (chr]

Here at Cobb Hill cohousing we do not have municipal water or sewer. For
sewer we were able to get away with a smaller leach field by using
composting toilets.

I don't have the details about size and cost but if you are interested in
that approach I could try and get some more info for you.
