2nd question, is there any access for digging equipment on the non broads side of Rattlesnake? I can't imagine what a septic system would cost without some digging equipment.
Do most Rattlesnake properties have septic systems? The terrain looks pretty challenging on most of the lots.

We have a Sun-Mar 3000
The Toilet is located about 15 feet horizontally from the unit, (Need pitch)
Built a small enclosure like a trash can storage building on the side of the camp. Flip up roof and 2 big doors. Heater in the unit runs all winter. (100 watts I think) I don't think I would put it in my cellar due to inevitable odors.
I agree that most Rattlesnake properties would be challenged for a septic due to the steep slope and rocks rocks rocks. I have seen some of the new tank type installed. Many people get heavy equipment up the hill during original construction. There is actually a road on the north end of the island. When the lots were originally laid out, many interior lots were laid out with a road. None have been built. I believe that many of the north end lots can be accessed from the inside out. You can see the road near the marker.
If cost were not an issue and the kids did not want to go to college, I would put one of the tank style septic systems way up on a flat area. But honestly I have not looked into how it gets serviced on the island.
