Don’t get me wrong, government is critically important (like say, a decent
sewerage system), but its highest achievement is to be just a tool.

My sewerage system is completely privately owned and works just fine.

Who makes sure of that; you or the government? Who tests WWTW discharges; you
or the government?
|
The type of sewerage handling systems that I may install are defined by
building code. So I guess, the government. Discharge testing at the site
(I’m running with septic) is done prior to accepting the design as legal. I’m
actually not sure what happens with the waste that’s taken away. But I’m
again sure that the government regulates that.
On the other hand, I’d rather have a lagoon and actually process my own waste
completely on site.

Have a look at
this.

And even more than that, I’d prefer to be composting all
our household waste. That’s a project for the house after next, though.
|
Very worthy.

I assume your local sewerage operator runs a monopoly?
|
Sewerage is handled on a house by house basis for miles around me.
|
I’m not surprised. I expect you select a contractor based on a mixture of price,
connivance & personal recommendation. Everything else is based on trust.
In the same way, most people just flush their WC and forget about it.
How can “the market” protect the environment under these circumstances?
