Soil and ground
Mapped soils in the area are mostly Hiwassee, at 3 of 5 sampled points, with Pacolet at the other 2. For absorption fields, NRCS rates 3 points somewhat limited and 2 very limited, naming slow water movement and slope. Cane Creek runs about 0.6 mile away, and slopes climb to 20 percent at the steepest mapped spot. These are generalized survey figures; individual lots differ, and only a site evaluation speaks to a specific property.
Soil data: USDA NRCS Web Soil Survey. Housing data: US Census Bureau ACS.Homes here
The 2020 Census counted 173 housing units in West Union. The ACS margins for a place this small are wide, so we leave out build years and most shares; about 73 percent are owner-occupied as a rough estimate. SC DES guidance puts pumping at every 3 to 5 years for a West Union home, with a checkup every 1 to 2.
