Who is responsible for maintaining a septic tank?
A. If the tank serves just one property, it is the owners responsibilty. Should the tank be served by 2 or more properties, the responsibility should be shared even if the tank and drainage system are wholly located on one property, it is always wise to have a legally binding agreement in place between all properties concerned. You may be best friends with your neighbour but what if they move, the new owners may not be so accomodating.
