They actually do have sewage lines but they have grown so rapidly that the lines couldn't have kept up. As a TEMPORARY solution, each building instead builds septic tanks so that they don't have to wait on the rest of the city infrastructure to catch up. It's actually not a terrible idea to solve the problem instead of watching growth stagnate.
FAR from perfect, but it isn't like crap is piling up in the streets.
I certainly wouldn't take the position unless the pay was REALLY REALLY going to make up for the massive headaches of living that far from family... and as "cosmopolitan" as it has become, it is still the middle east, so be prepared for that aspect of things.
