What we know about the ground in McLennan County

The southern end of our service area. North and west McLennan County — China Spring, Crawford, McGregor — has lighter soils and limestone; the Blackland belt runs through the east side. Aerobic systems are the most common new install here, with conventional systems where the soil allows.

Waco is the far end of where we go, and we've been going there since the '80s. For bigger jobs — a new build, or a septic and shelter together — it's well worth the drive for both of us.

Permits: septic permits in McLennan County go through the Waco-McLennan County Public Health District, Environmental Health, in Waco. We file the permit, schedule the inspection, and stay until it passes.
