You have to be ****ing me! Leave those poor guys alone. Who really gives a crap if they use an outhouse.

I guess it depends on if it’s *YOUR* well that the Amish are shitting in...

"Cambria County Sewage Enforcement Agency" This is what taxpayers are spending money on....Poo Enforcement Teams....

Convicting the Amish for dumping buckets of poo on their fields? How GREEN can you get? LOL!

Actually, a well designed outhouse is much kinder to the environment than a flush toilet (no water consumption, no waste water problem) and if properly built, does not smell.

We teach these VIP (Ventilated Improved Privy) latrines for use in villages in the developing world.

Of course, the Gestapo that is most local health departments cannot allow deviation from the prescribed order.

The men were not convicted for using an outhouse. In fact, the outhouses are being used by a school, where they were located, by the students of the school.

They had been convicted of illegally dumping sewage from two outhouses at the Amish sect’s schoolhouse and not having a permitted sewage disposal system. The county sewage agency said the sewage was collected in buckets instead of a legally emptied tank and the waste then dumped on the land.
