Without running water pit would have issues as well. I live inside the city hence water is not much of a problem. It used to 24x7 but now few hours a day. Most of the houses have overhead tanks. But if you go few kms outside the city then you have water every other day or 2.

Wouldn't a Pit be a better solution? I live in tier 2 city. The drainage line reached our section few years. Hence everyone builds a pit. No smell or flies. We have it for nearly 25yrs. I am not sure how the decomposition works there are houses older then us without any issues. This is south india btw.
