Thanks everyone for their input. It has been helpful, although I am still not sure what type of cost range I am potentially facing. My system hasn't failed yet, but several in the area have so I am sure it is simply a matter of time for me. Thus, I am trying to get ready and potentially be preemptive, depending on cost.

I have done a little more research since my initial post. The leach field is less than 50-feet from the water's edge and the age of the system is actually 42 years. I am located in Tuftonboro. My lot is small, shallow and steep so I don't see how the system can be moved to a better location on my property. Would this type of situation require a redesign to replace the leach field? At what type of cost? Thanks for the help.
