I think a failed septic system does more harm. Do you know of any? Just because a system is old or does not meet current codes does not mean it is putting coliform bacteria into the lake.
I know of one Bear Island property that had to pay about 50k for a new system because the Meredith Health Dept. caught wind of a problem (pun intended).
If you know of anybody that has a failed system, send me a PM and I will turn them in in a heartbeat.
NH does have septic system laws but they should have a tougher law like Title V in Massachusetts.
