It would be less work, bother and expense to put the pool somewhere else.
Somewhere that the pipes aren't.

Its how they are postioned kinda of on angle,property 300'x150.The back yard is huge but on the survey it seems that the septic lines are on an 45 deg angle.Looks like the drainfiled takes up 1600 sq ft and taking up some of the land we would like to use.If they could be straightened out it would work.We would also like to put up a pole barn/garage as well.It seems that this huge backyard is almost useless.Any alternatives to this problem?

Choose a different property if you KNOW you want those things.

You probably will need to consider having another perc test done for wherever you plan to put the lines.

Does this mean that you thought there wasn't any need to see the survey plat
and have it reviewed by the pool and other contractors before you bought?

Have you found the old or paid for a new survey yet?
Check with the county for the septic plan that should be on file?
What about the well?

1) have the septic and well checked thoroughly.
2) if there's a problem with the existing tank, pipes or leech field ... know it NOW
and have the current seller deal with it or have the price reflect that
3) if it's OK as is... and you still build do that somewhere that the septic system isn't.
4) call in a surveyor too (most don't charge that much)
