If you are excavating I assume you will bury your water and drain lines? That should save a lot of hassle.
The sewer system sounds pretty whack, but far better than using the river. Remind me not to swim in any NC rivers ;).
Have you considered a composting toilet? Or renting a porta-john?
yes, buried everything
tiny homes across the country utilize septic systems like what I described...some to code...some not.
the guy who owns the crossfit box I go to has lived in a TT for the past 2 yrs and he buried one of those 50 gallon rain barrels and punched holes in it, and has worked for him great so far.
For a one bedroom/small place, these septic systems will work just fine. Especially if the gray water is diverted.
The land needs to perk for it obviously...
if a drain field needs to be added at some point that isn't all that difficult either.
I'm still researching that area and haven't determined yet exactly what needs to be done.
Just like I haven't determined exactly what kind of wire and conduit and so on.
these are details that will be worked out over the next few months.
It will be a few months before I'm ready to move.
