[Pil-pc-oceania] Human nutrients & Toilets & greywater systems

[mossmans]

The other day we had a blockage in our pipes going to our conventional
"gardenmaster" septic system, it is a tank with lots of champbers which
results in sadly chlorinated water being pumped out.  We reuse all that
water, but if anyone has any ideas on how I could build a holding tank to
enable the chlorine to reduce before using it I would be happy.
 
Anyway, the first chamber got blocked.. They said I would need a pumpout.
so we have used some inguity (I think).  When we took the big round concrete
hole cover off, underneath was a lot of sludge, but it was full of worms, so
I think if the worms are happy then it cant be all that bad ( we don't use
any bad chemicals down the drains) so we used a long spade, and spaded the
gunk out, and put it into a compost heap which will sit for a couple of
years before being spread on non vegetable gardens.  No pump out needed.
 
So we have almost got that worm system unintentionally,   but what I would
like to know is how do the worms get down there in the first place??
