Not necessarily sewers, but that water carries the waste away. Blackwater
and septic are flush w/o sewer connection.

Good point.
What if it looked something like:

toilets=[yes/seated/standing/no]
toilets:type=[flush/pit/chemical/bucket]
toilets:method=[sewer/septic/blackwater/(various-types-of-composting)/(proper-word-for-dig-a-new-hole-when-full)/(emptied-by-truck)/user
defined,...]

Thoughts?
