Out where we live, it would not be cost effective to put in sewer lines at this point. With the really large lots, people have room for a properly designed septic system, but the little house is quite old and built before there were many, if any, laws about septic systems. Areas of town that are more dense have town sewer service.

People complain about septic systems, but we've had absolutely no problems with ours. They do need maintenance every two years or so, and it's essential to have a system big enough for the amount of output.
