how do they get water and sewer up to remote homes that are high in the mountains?
In: 75
watched a vid, house built on the side of a mountain and was also lake front.
They had septic but also needed to pump higher up the mountain so the liquid would have more time to be filtered from the soil.
They were too close to the lake and it would pollute it if released near their septic.
Dont recall what they did for water but they had tapped into a stream for hydroelectric for cloudy days along with solar and batteries so im guessing thats where their water came from. Makes sense to do it this way as the infrastructure is there, why add the expense of drilling. Obviously they need a filter/reverse osmosis etc
Its not logical to connect to the grid in some of these situations, it could be 10k + just to get electricity to the house/cabin. Pumping up hill means you loose a lot of pressure so rain water collection/well/stream plus filters is a more viable solution. Then septic/open air/compost for toilet. You can search for each of these individually, plenty of text, images and videos, its pretty fascinating
