These storage systems are designed for underground service and installation. Some Hopi villages, rural Navajo residences, and other people do not have sewer systems. Composting toilet systems have been in use for a number of years around the world and are becoming more common. In keeping with the Hopi Foundation's goal to encourage self sufficiency, NativeSUN has established a revolving loan program so that homeowners can purchase their own systems. The loans are paid back at low rates over a reasonable time, making electricity affordable.
Considerable time is spent with potential consumers before the consummation of a loan.
Over one hundred families have received loans under the revolving loan fund. This fund will be increased as NativeSUN expands into new markets.
