Does your town/city also ban composting toilets?
I wanted to buy a $60,000 foreclosure in my town-- they told me I'm not allowed to even step foot on the property until I install a septic system.
- maire 8y agoI don't know. The county was reviewing composting toilets in 2013. I don't know the outcome.
- anoncoward111 8y agoMany of the counties in the Northeast have taken a strong stance against composting toilets. It's because the local construction companies control the local governments here. They literally don't let you buy or move onto specific properties without submitting plans from "an approved septic installation company." You can imagine who is on the approval board, and which companies are "approved providers."
- maire 8y agoCalifornia has water issues - that is why they were seriously considering composting toilets.
- anoncoward111 8y agoSounds like I should move there :) The Northeast's justification is that they don't want human feces in the water table. But their policies don't reflect this noble goal.
