Septic Service in Spring Lake, NC
Spring Lake grew up next to Fort Bragg. If your home in or around town runs on a septic tank and drain field, here’s what to know.
Sewer or septic?
The Town of Spring Lake runs its own water and sewer system and its own wastewater treatment plant. Homes outside the town’s lines, including many in the surrounding area, rely on a septic tank and drain field instead.
Not sure which you have? Look for a sewer charge on your utility bill, or a tank lid or cleanout in the yard. No sewer charge usually means septic.
Little River flooding
Hurricane Matthew set a flood record on the Little River at Spring Lake in October 2016, at almost 32 feet. Two years later, Hurricane Florence flooded the town’s wastewater plant. If your septic system sat in floodwater, have it checked before you use it normally again.
Rentals and military moves
With Fort Bragg next door, plenty of Spring Lake homes change hands or tenants often. A septic tank doesn’t keep track of who lived there. If you just moved in or are getting ready to sell, find out when the tank was last pumped.
