I know we are talking several thousand dolars, which is nothing to sneeze at, but I advocate putting in the cesspool or septic system, then directing as much of my waste as possible elsewhere. No need to tell the county anything about alternative methods of disposal, and you will always have a regular toilet for those squeamish individuals who don't like to use a composting toilet. Finally, resail value will be better with the conventional system installed. I personally feel somewhat bad about using only a cesspool even where it is allowed, because I know they can cause problems with the ground water. Well, I will install one to satisfy the county but I will use it as little as possible.
