Gilmanton is farm country — the Corners, Iron Works, and long roads of fields, woodlots, and homesteads between them. No municipal sewer exists anywhere in town; from antique capes to new construction on old pasture, everything runs on septic.
Gilmanton's housing stock spans three centuries, and so do its septic arrangements: genuine antiques where the 'system' may be an old cesspool grandfathered into service, mid-century homes on original tanks, and newer builds on modern designed systems. Cesspool-to-septic conversions and honest evaluations of very old systems are the characteristic work here — and on properties changing hands, buyers should know exactly which century their wastewater setup belongs to.
Buying an antique in Gilmanton? Make the septic evaluation non-negotiable. A period cape on an original cesspool is a very different purchase than the same cape on a 2010 designed system — five figures different.
