As one of my daily BI checks (in addition to reading Punaweb) is to peruse the real estate listings and look at the new properties that come up. A few of the new listings (I believe in Vacationland) have language that a Septic System must be installed within xx days of closing. An excerpt from that listing:

"IMPORTANT DISCLOSURE; The septic system MUST BE UPGRADED with the engineering plan submitted to the water association within 2 months of closing, and finished within 6 months."

This may just be the homeowners association in conjunction with the county, the association by themselves or just the county requirement. The listing seems like a really nice deal but maybe not, depending on the septic upgrade cost...

My understanding is that the Kapoho subdivisions fall under additional rules, because they are in a conservation area and drain to a Marine Sanctuary. Also I do believe (Cat can correct me if I am wrong) that the water company down there doesn't connect people unless they are on the proper kind of septic.
