Cesspools are not allowed in Minnesota any more, and any house sale automatically invokes a septic inspection & compliance with newest codes.

I'd do a lot of research & buyer's clauses into this making sure you can get title to an occupiable house or no sale. I do not know the laws in your state, but _you_ better know the state, county, township, & village ordanences on this!

You sound like the farm in the back is a bad deal?

Actually a true cesspool has no drain field at all, so I think your contraption would be a septic tank, perhaps not a tank but functions like a septic tank? Cesspool is a big old tank that is made of rock or other porous material and the water just drains out & down into the ground around it. Basically like a drywell for storm water.

Here's one web site explaining a true cesspool.
