About septic in Waterloo
About Waterloo
Waterloo is a Laurens County town of 149 people (2020 Census), 42 miles south of downtown Spartanburg. The drive is 47.2 miles and about 69 minutes via US-221, I-26 and SC-49. Cross Hill is 5.4 miles southeast, with Laurens 10.5 miles north and Ware Shoals 11.2 miles west. SC DES covers Laurens County out of its Greenwood office when it comes to septic permits.
Soil and ground
Mapped soils in the area are five different series, one each at the five sampled points: Cecil, Enon, Hiwassee, Madison and Pacolet. NRCS rates 3 somewhat limited and 2 very limited for septic absorption fields, mainly for slow water movement and slope. Mapped slope runs 4 to 28 percent. Lake Greenwood is nearby. This is generalized survey data for the area, not a property evaluation; individual lots differ and need a site evaluation.
Soil data: USDA NRCS Web Soil Survey. Housing data: US Census Bureau ACS.Homes here
The 2020 Census counted 85 housing units in Waterloo, and the ACS median year built is about 1970. About 32 percent are mobile homes, though that estimate has a wide margin for a place this small, and we leave other figures out. For care, SC DES recommends Waterloo owners schedule an inspection every 1 to 2 years and pumping every 3 to 5, more often for bigger households.
Waterloo questions
Do you cover a place as small as Waterloo?
Yes. Waterloo has 149 people and sits about 47 road miles from downtown Spartanburg, and we serve it like any other town, whether for pumping, an inspection or a repair. To set up a Waterloo visit, call 864-680-2692 and describe the job.
Does Lake Greenwood change how a drain field is judged?
Lake Greenwood shows in the nearby map data, and the closest named creeks, Long Lick Branch and Cane Creek, are about 1.4 and 1.7 miles off. FEMA shows no flood zone within a mile. A lake alone does not decide a drain field; the depth of the soil does, and that needs a site evaluation.
