Anyone out there have a lagoon instead of septic system?
Does a lagoon have some real advantages over septic systems?

His AHJ may be the determining factor. Has he checked into the permitting yet?

Hope to buy land that has no restrictions on what is done.

Do you own the lagoon? i.e. your land encompasses the entire lagoon. Does anyone else have legal access to the lagoon? Is it a designated as a watershed? .
No to all
Then the first one applies. You do not own the lagoon, so you have no right to dump raw sewage into it. Even if you did have the right, I'm sure someone will show up with a summons.
Oops sorry I meant yes to first question
There still may be county restrictions. Especially out in the sticks.

Since you don't own the lagoon, and it is not (entirely) on your land, I'd suspect that using it would not be a wise move. IMHO, however!
