I provided info on system abandonment. they also had well questions which I referred to MDH and provided sealing assistance info. 1/29 (SB) I spoke w/ Title agent representing seller. No escrow or forms required by PHE at time of transfer. Dept. will work with whoever to bring system into compliance. 1/16 (SB) I took a call from a prospective buyer, wanted to know what was wrong with SSTS. I informed her system was inspected by a third party, licensed inspector, and found to be noncompliant and failing to protect groundwater with possible cesspool(s) and would require complete replacement.
