About septic in Greenville
About Greenville
Greenville is a Greenville County city of 70,720 people with 37,323 housing units. Downtown Spartanburg is 30.6 miles away by road, about 45 minutes along I-85, US-29 and I-385. City View is 1.8 miles northwest, Judson 2.1 miles southwest and Dunean 2.2 miles southwest. We serve Greenville, and SC DES permits through its Greenville/Spartanburg office.
Soil and ground
Mapped soils in the area are Cecil at four of five points, with the fifth in urban land, which NRCS does not rate. The Cecil points are rated somewhat limited for septic absorption fields because of slow water movement, on slopes of 4 to 5 percent. Elevation is about 975 feet with gently rolling ground. The Reedy River runs 0.3 mile from the centre. This is generalized survey data; individual lots differ and need a site evaluation.
Soil data: USDA NRCS Web Soil Survey. Housing data: US Census Bureau ACS.Homes here
The ACS puts the Greenville median year built at about 1987, and about 42 percent of homes predate 1980. Only about 41 percent of households own their home and about 42 percent of homes are single-family detached, so apartments and rentals are common. Whichever homes have a tank, a record of pumping and inspection is worth having.
Greenville questions
Is septic common in a city as large as Greenville?
We cannot say. No Census or ACS table reports sewer versus septic for places, so we make no claim about how many Greenville homes use a tank. We pump, inspect and repair systems at the ones that do. If your home has a tank, we can help whatever the surrounding area uses.
Does the Reedy River matter for a Greenville drain field?
The Reedy River is the nearest named waterway at 0.3 mile from the town centre, with Richland Creek at 0.8 mile. City View and Judson are neighbors on the same side. Whether water affects a drain field depends on the lot, so a site visit gives the answer.
