Lack of indoor plumbing, I know families that didn't have indoor plumbing into the mid 1960's. State should have zero say on the matter.
I can remember when my grandparents' house first got a flush toilet. As long as their septic systems (or privies) aren't contaminating their neighbor's water wells. Or in an urban setting, where outhouses don't make sense.
Neither of which is the case here, so I agree the govt should butt the *&$# out.
