Unsuitable Soil For Septic

Jay Johnson

Posted

I have a seller that wants to sell, but the lot they had evaluated, in 2007, (it's 2 lots side by side), the health dept said the soil is unsuitable for a septic system. They, also, said alternative systems and any other modifications wouldn't overcome the severe conditions of the site. They, however, did say an option could be to come up with a plan for a system that would dispose of sewage water to another area of suitable soil or off-site to an additional property.

It's 2 lots, with one being a corner lot, in a subdivision, on a street with a cul de sac. Would you still consider buying if you got it cheap enough, or does the kind of info kill any chance of a marketable resell by me?
