Travelers Rest questions
Does the Reedy River near Travelers Rest matter for septic?
The Reedy River runs about 0.8 mile and Beaverdam Creek about 0.3 mile from the city center. FEMA shows no flood zone within 0.3 mile, though one is mapped about a mile out. Distance alone does not decide a drain field, so we judge each lot on site.
What is the poorly drained soil near Travelers Rest?
One of the five survey points is Wehadkee, a soil NRCS maps as poorly drained, with a water table mapped at 0 inches and flooding among the limits for absorption fields. It is one point in five, so it is a prompt to look closely, not a rule for the city.
