What's wrong with just dumping the wastewater into the septic system? That's how most rural dwellers do it, and it seems to work fine.
The only problem with septic systems, AFAICT, is you need a fair amount of land to support them, which is why they don't work too well in the city: house lots even in the suburbs aren't generally large enough there. They also need to be cleaned out occasionally, something you never have to bother with in a sewer system.
