Main ting is the open pit sewer, I have my well 150 ft away.
I think the problems can be mitigated somewhat by religiously throwing in lime (think it has to be a certain type*) after each use. And some other composting materials.
And neither rainwater nor urine should go in the pit. Not saying pit sewers are acceptable, but if someone insists on having one there can better (and worse) ways to handle it.
* maybe someone else has more knowledge on this...
