It is likely a requirement through the equivalent of the State Department of Natural Resources that makes that requirement. I would start there to see if there is a way to skirt the requirement if you were able to follow a regimen of sanitizing that would meet with their specifications.

I have a question for anyone with experience or knowledge in reusing old septic tanks
for harvested rainwater to be used for landscape irrigation. A whole
subdivision that is currently on septic is being forced to city sewage
and as a requirement they have to destroy (infill with concrete) their
current septic tanks. Rather than destroying these tanks, I see this as a potential for low cost rainwater harvesting if there is a way clean them. We are talking hundreds of homes with the potential to begin harvesting rainwater. Any help or leads is appreciated.
Thanks,
