DWFAN Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 What's the yearly cost on the tank? Will your Sewer/water/property taxes/fee's go up because of the upgrade? (Cities, Counties, Govt in general, do not usually maintain something for free.) Will it add value to your property? (ask an appraiser) These are the questions that would help me figure out if it's worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ima45dv8 Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 The question I would ask is, if you ever decide to sell, will local codes require that your property be attached to the county service? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EEH Posted February 20, 2013 Author Share Posted February 20, 2013 (edited) ima45dv8--no,would not require to be connected,,for resale DWFAN first question,,water fee would go up..about $25.00 per month don't know about maint.for ever. property value would in my guess yo up but not much,so my realtor said.. It's probally a good thing,just bad timing.. Edited February 21, 2013 by EEH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ima45dv8 Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 In that case, I'd stock up on Rid-X and keep the $2,600. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poppa Bear Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 How many people does it affect, and what would the cost be to do it at a later date by your choice or if the offer became an order? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EEH Posted February 21, 2013 Author Share Posted February 21, 2013 (edited) about 20 houses--$755.00 more at a later date ! Edited February 21, 2013 by EEH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyZip Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Why not run their system after yours? instead of a leach pit or leach lines you would have a sewer system, and septic should their system fail. Might be cheaper too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
