If you are suggesting buying a place and trying to "workaround" the septic rules, I am in violent disagreement.
First, modern septic standards are critical for protecting the lake at the current level of development. Though lovely overall, Hanson Cove and surrounding areas do have a real problem with runoff already. See here for lots of details:

Second, even if you disagree with the need for a modern septic and you think you can worm out of fixing it, an old septic is a financial time bomb. Some day it will need to be replaced--either because it fails or the grandfathered regulations change. So if you're just squeaking by on your ability to pay for a place with an old septic, it's only prudent to budget for a new septic.
If there are readers with old septics who would like to replace them but cannot afford to do so, financial help is sometimes available. PM me and I may be able to point you in the right direction.
