Muskoka in the City has developed an off the grid washroom system that works well for golf courses, low use situations and for recreational use. We have teamed up with Sun-Mar – North America’s largest maker of composting toilets to put together an environmentally sound solution. No water, no electricity, no septic system which is cheaper and uses a natural bio-system. This combination in conjunction with solar powered lighting and fan, has received great interest.
However there are barriers as interpreted by some officials. An open pit privy (outhouse) does not need a permit according to the Ontario Building Code. Waste goes into the ground and is not monitored. However the composting toilet is a contained system and may be interpreted as to need a permit or not be allowed at all.
The old rules have yet to adapt to the green world changes! Hello?
