A yurt is a round, portable shelter, and its plumbing is usually minimal and seasonal. A sink and a shower can work in a yurt with a simple supply and a way to drain the water away.
The supply
A garden hose or a small line from a nearby source brings the water in, and the fixtures are usually simple and easy to disconnect. freezing winters put stress on exposed lines, and many older homes still have aging galvanized pipes In Rapid City, a year-round yurt needs a real buried line.
The drain
Wastewater goes to a graywater pit, a drain line, or a portable holding tank, depending on the setup and the local rules.
The heater
A point-of-use or tankless heater warms the water without a large tank, and it fits the compact space.
The seasonal
