>wipes that call themselves flushable There is no such product, despite many such packaging claims. >the person who will have to deal with the problem Plumbers will always have work, but there may be environmental consequences in the interim: I renovated a small garage apartment, located in the wealthiest part of town (Lookout Mountain). The property had been owned by the same family since the 1930s, and was home of the same heir since the early 1990s (until renovated ~2022). After the historic toilet/flange rusted out, Heir lived their for another thirty years squatting into a hole that dropped down into a bucket (in the garage, below). He would then run off into the forest to dump the poop, once festidiously heaping. As he aged, the loads got smaller and smaller (until one day he just decided to stop emptying it, until quickly thereafter Going Home, thank god / RIP). Millions and millions of dollars in neighboring properties, and this legacy of the mountain was contributing his own surface run-off into Poopy Falls' tributaries (Ruby Falls, which is an underground waterfall made up of recycled septic field line water of the affluent mountaintop community, above). Just a surface stream of solid effluent / shit. >Nevertheless, septic fields cost $20-30K That's if you're under ideal conditions. Some situations (e.g. hillside) can quickly approach $100k+.
