InterestedGirl, I think Alan has given you much more attention than you deserve. All of the information you request is public record. You may access it via the Clerk of Courts Office.
Drivingthru, how is the general public supposed to know whether or not underground pipes are installed through observation? Your statement of learning about property before you purchase is very good. However, you cannot tell me that you can see underground infrastructure such as the missing pipes. Heck, the County Engineer signed off on the paper work as though the infrastructure was installed as engineered, and the County took four years before they ever found out the real truth, and that was only a few months ago. Even the County was somewhat surprised, because the development would have not been approved if the infrastructure wasn't installed. Oversite? Fraud? Negligence? I'm not sure the reason, but the County now states after investigation, that the infrastructure wasn't installed as engineered and required.
I will add that if you are an early purchaser in a development, and your home is built, but the others are not, when the developer fills the surrounding wetlands which were designed to be retention ponds, and builds more homes on them, your early investigation would be useless. You have to rely on what the original development plans show as future builds.
