As we're planning to build a cabin in a remote off-the-grid location, we have found that a composter toilet is the cheapest way to go, and is also ecologically "green." The health district does not allow running water in the dwelling if there is no conventional septic system and drainfield, so the shower and laundry has to be in a separate building. Also, the bathroom grey water and kitchen grey water have to be separate if there is no conventional septic system and drainfield. The bathroom grey water can be spread on a flower garden or used to water trees, but the kitchen grey water either has to be hauled off to an approved disposal facility or a "grease trap" small-sized conventional septic system and drainfield has to be installed.
