Where did the wastewater go before the first rodwell was finished?
- joshvm 2y agoI guess something fairly simple - a hole in the ground. Or it gets bagged and put into waste drums (or deposited directly) - this is still what we do at outbuildings where there's no sewage or water infra. The answer is probably on Bill Spindler's website somewhere (southpolestation.com).

- cozzyd 2y agoAt Summit Station in Greenland (much smaller than Pole, Pole feels like a luxury resort comparitively), an outfall hole + usually we use the outhouses (which are just made using hot air). Fresh water comes from the snow cave, and shoveled into the water melter.
