No way! I can control what goes into my septic system. I can also prevent damage to my own leachfield due to heavy machinery, encroaching vegetation or trees, etc. I can't control what neighbors do on their own property. I can schedule maintenance based on what I know. I don't need some sort of MOU or agreement with anyone nor do I have to negotiate servicing or necessary repairs with anyone else.

Would you buy a home that has a ahared septic system with your neighbor? Explain...
Can you explain how two homes were allowed to have a common septic system? North Carolina is not unlike any other State that regulates On Site Sewage Facilities and even a smaller home might not have been allowed to share a system without proper engineering of the system.
I inquired about a property a few years ago that listed a shared septic system and well, it was a family property that was being subdivided. Sounds like a recipe for future conflict. I passed on it.
How is the "sharing" documented? It should be legally documented and recorded. Have the document reviewed by an attorney.
How is the sharing of expenses documented?
Whose property is the system on?
Was the system properly engineered and installed by licensed operators, and inspected/accepted by the regulatory folks?
Has maintenance been properly performed by licensed operators and thoroughly documented?
