What is a requirement for an on-going service contract related to mound systems?

Recording an ongoing service contract related to mound systems on the property deed serves to ensure that future property owners are aware of the maintenance obligations associated with the septic system. This requirement facilitates transparency and helps prevent any misunderstandings regarding who is responsible for the upkeep of the mound system. By having the contract recorded, it creates a legal obligation that stays with the property, protecting both the environment and public health by ensuring continued adherence to necessary maintenance and service schedules.

While other options may touch upon important aspects of managing mound systems, such as having a signed agreement or local health department approval, the primary intent of recording the contract is to maintain an ongoing awareness of responsibilities for any current or future property owners.
