If you have an oldc system, c hances are the rest of your plumbing is old too. Replacing fixtures with low or restricted flow puts less water through the system. Same with new toilets that flush with 1+8 gallons instead of 5. An outhouse and a thunder jug still work just fine, and "In ths land of fund and sun, we don't flush for number one. If you do it and it's brown, go ahead and flush it down." Water conservation is important.
For the outdoor shower, where does that drain to? How far from the lake, what kind of soil? What kind of soap are you using?
