    You should only need a septic for the toilet,which usually has 2 chambers. All other grey water usually runs into the gulleys along the street or into a soak away .

    My septic tank is a large 3 chamber tank for the toilets, the third chamber goes out to the drainage ditch. Grey water and most downspouts go directly to the ditch. The kitchen sink goes to a grease trap before hitting the other catch basins.

    The houses we've built have fully cemented septic tanks for toilet waste and separate soakaways for grey water.

    Have you ever noticed that CRs here rarely have toilet paper or even a sanitary sprayer. You usually just find a bucket of water and a cup/small bowl nearby. There is only one of two possible outcomes I can think of with the buck-bowl combo being used as a means of cleaning up; a nasty butt or some nasty hands....and I'm almost certain it's not the one I'd prefer if I were to give a local a proper handshake. Let that soak in a bit and then try to remember if you saw any soap (that looks like it hasn't been sitting there since the Philippines gained its independence) in the sink of that cr.....and if you are feeling really brave, go to your favorite restaurant and find a seat that gives you a clear view of the cr and watch the hygiene practices of the people that are handling your food. If your favorite restaurant has some Western management involved with it just imagine how unsanitary a place fully operated at local standards could be. (I haven't been able to bring myself to do this last one. There are some things I'd rather just not know :cautious:.)
