New Neighbors & Violations
#41
so it's the outhouse bothering you most jefyuaz?

Let's compare a cesspool, which is what most people in Puna have, to an outhouse:

Cesspool - hole in the lava
Outhouse - hole in the lava

Cesspool - no filtration
Outhouse - no filtration

Cesspool - concrete cover
Outhouse - wood hole or plastic toilet seat, can be covered if owner chooses to do so, hydrated lime can be sprinkled into pit to prevent insect problems

If built and managed properly, an outhouse is not substantially different than a cesspool in the disposal of waste. If not managed properly, an outhouse can be quite different, creating a problem for the neighbors especially above ground.

If your well is downhill from a cesspool or an outhouse, you're getting unfiltered drainage either way.
