The septic field was never repaired.
The original home had a gas leak and essentially blew up. There was nothing left, just a bit of basement foundation and the underground septic. A totally new home was built on the site. When the new home was built the county allowed the owner to use the old nonconforming septic system which was encroaching on the property we want to buy.
On the septic Write Off permit for the new home the county stated that the owner of the septic system did not have an easement to have the septic on another property and if the property owner objected to having the septic on the property, the owner of the new home would have to apply for a new permit and install a conforming septic with appropriate set backs. My husband has the copy of the Write Off. When he returns I will post the language of the permit verbatim.
