Oh well, just a thought. No pun intended . Ya, I'm a shower person to. NO SEPTIC? What happens to all the, the, you know what? We have a conventional septic where everything from the house goes in there. I would love to have it set up where all your water from washing and showers goes into a holding tank that you then can us for water your yard. But I don't think my honey will go for what it would cost to do that. Stay cool and safe in that heat.
The indoor plumbing was not put in my house until 1979 [I did not live here then], and the sewer line empties into a "lagoon" sort of. It isnt quite a real lagoon. It is grandfathered in because of its age. A real lagoon is a holding pond for sewage to let it decompost naturally. The pipe empties on the side of the hill and there is a small berm to catch the stuff. It decomposes naturally, however, I would not call it a lagoon though it seems to serve the purpose. I lived here for several years before I found out there was no septic system or real lagoon. Before 1979, there was an old fashioned outdoor privy, which was still standing when I moved here. It was useless and had been filled in by the time I got here. My home was built in 1920. The people who did the indoor plumbing live "downstream" sort of from it, so ?
Hummmm, that is very interesting. I never heard of a holding pond except on the dairy farms we have around here. Being built when it was I guess they didn't plan on indoor plumbing.
