Treating effluent from septic tanks in cholera affected areas

Hi all,

Can anyone advise of a simple method using a tank which can safely treat effluent from septic tank in an area where cholera may be present? Is it possible to treat this effluent to a level where it can be discharged to the environment without the use of chlorine or other chemical harmful to the environment?

This is area is a densely packed slum with good access to a water supply but obviously no sewage network.

Please let me know if you need further details.

Thank you, Sarah
