Custom Washroom Systems
Muskoka in the City Inc. designs and builds both buildings and waste systems for composting toilets and in ground tanks (outhouses).
1. Composting Systems
Muskoka in the City Inc. and Sun-Mar Corp. have teamed up to design and build unique custom on-course washroom facilities using composting technology. These units are environmentally and user friendly, cost effective and a visual enhancement for a course. Sun-Mar Corp. is Canada's largest manufacturer of composting toilet systems. Sun-Mar toilets are perfect for on-course and park facilities, halfway houses and maintenance buildings.
Advantages of our systems:
• Custom built to match clubhouse / course architecture
• No water hookup - saves money
• No electricity - solar powered, saves money
• No septic system - Infiltrator systems, saves money
• Easy installation
• Easy maintenance
• Odour free
• Proven environmental solution
• No pump outs
• No course damage
Structures available in these configurations:
• 1 composting toilet - "Hole for One'
• 2 composting toilets - "Two Putt"
