About septic in Arcadia
About Arcadia
Arcadia is a village of 3,246 people just 4 road miles and 11 minutes west of downtown Spartanburg, in Spartanburg County. Fairforest, Saxon and Southern Shops are the next communities over, each within 2 miles. SC DES covers septic permits here through its Greenville/Spartanburg office. It is inside the area we serve, a short drive on local roads.
Soil and ground
Fairforest Creek runs about 0.2 mile from the town centre, and FEMA flood maps show a mapped flood zone within about 0.3 mile. Mapped soils in the area are Cecil at all 5 sampled points, which NRCS rates somewhat limited for septic absorption fields because of slow water movement, over clay at about 804 feet. That is generalized survey data, not an evaluation of any property; individual lots differ, and every lot needs its own site evaluation.
Soil data: USDA NRCS Web Soil Survey. Housing data: US Census Bureau ACS.Homes here
The 2020 Census counted 1,432 housing units in Arcadia. In 2020-2024 ACS estimates, about 35 percent were built before 1980, roughly 29 percent of homes are owner-occupied, and mobile homes are about 20 percent, each with a wide margin of error. A rental or a manufactured home still has a tank that needs its inspection and pumping schedule kept by someone.
Arcadia questions
Does the flood zone near Fairforest Creek affect septic work in Arcadia?
FEMA maps a flood zone within about 0.3 mile of the town centre, and Fairforest Creek is the closest named stream. In general, homes in or near flood zones can have high water tables that flood a drain field. Whether your address sits in a zone depends on the address, so ask us before assuming.
What do the Cecil soils around Arcadia mean for a drain field?
NRCS maps Cecil soil here at all 5 sampled points, with a sandy loam surface and clay below. Clay drains slowly, which is why NRCS lists slow water movement. It describes the general area. Each lot gets its own site evaluation before we talk about repair or replacement.
