Soil and ground
Water table stands out. NRCS rates 3 of 5 sampled points very limited for septic absorption fields, with a saturated zone listed at 3 points and a water table as shallow as 12 inches. Mapped soils in the area are Cataula at 2 points, Cecil at 2 and Cartecay at 1. Salem Creek runs about 0.2 mile out. That is generalized survey data, not an evaluation of any property; individual lots differ, and every lot needs its own site evaluation.

Centerville questions
What does a shallow water table near Centerville mean for septic?
NRCS maps a saturated zone as shallow as 12 inches at some sampled points, and lists it as a limit at 3 of 5. Wet soil leaves less room for a drain field to treat water. It is area data. Your own lot would need a site evaluation.
Do Salem Creek and Fivemile Creek affect septic in Centerville?
Salem Creek is about 0.2 mile and Fivemile Creek about 0.6 mile from the town centre. No flood zone is mapped within 0.3 mile. A slow drain or soggy patch over the field after rain is a reason to call, close to a creek or not.
