About septic in Utica
About Utica
We also serve Utica, about 60 miles west of downtown Spartanburg in Oconee County, 1.3 miles from Seneca. Utica is a place of 1,347 people (2020 Census). The road trip is 68.6 miles and roughly 100 minutes via I-85, US-123 and US-29, and Clemson is 5.4 miles east. Septic permits for Oconee County go through SC DES, whose Walhalla office covers the county.
Soil and ground
Mapped soils in the area are Cecil at all 5 sampled points, well drained, rated somewhat limited for septic absorption fields by NRCS because of slow water movement. Elevation is about 885 feet and relief within a mile is about 65 feet, gently rolling. FEMA maps a flood zone within 0.3 mile, and Martin Creek is about 0.5 mile off. That is generalized soil survey data, not a property evaluation; individual lots differ and each needs its own site evaluation.
Soil data: USDA NRCS Web Soil Survey. Housing data: US Census Bureau ACS.Homes here
The 2020 Census counted 634 housing units in Utica. The ACS margins for a place this size are wide, so we leave out build years. About 84 percent are single-family detached and about 9 percent are mobile homes, as rough estimates. Clemson and SC DES guidance agree for Utica homes: pump every 3 to 5 years, with a look at the system every 1 to 2.
