From Wilmington to surrounding communities, many New Hanover County properties rely on septic systems. Public sewer doesn't reach every neighborhood, so some homes in the county still use a septic tank and drain field. We connect property owners with local professionals for pumping, repairs, drain field work, installs and inspections across the county.
New Hanover County includes denser neighborhoods as well as unincorporated areas. That can mean smaller lots, mature landscaping and drain fields that sit close to driveways, patios and trees. Sandy soils and a high water table near the coast can also affect how a system performs, especially after heavy rain or tropical storms.
A few things New Hanover homeowners often run into:
Wilmington and its unincorporated outskirts, Castle Hayne, Ogden, Murraysville, Myrtle Grove and nearby communities. Availability depends on local professionals in your area.
Septic permits and site evaluations in New Hanover County are handled by New Hanover County Environmental Health's On-Site Water Protection section (nhcgov.com, 910-798-6667). If you're not sure whether public sewer is available at your address, Cape Fear Public Utility Authority (CFPUA) can tell you.
