Septic Service in Piney Green, NC
Piney Green is one of the largest communities just outside Jacksonville’s city limits, and many of its homes were built on septic. If yours still is, here’s what to know.
Sewer or septic?
Piney Green grew up on septic tanks and small private treatment plants. The county’s land use plan called it the most developed part of ONWASA’s White Oak service area and the part most in need of sewer, and ONWASA has since built sewer collection here. Some homes are connected and some still depend on septic.
To check yours, look for a sewer charge on your bill or a tank lid in the yard, or ask Onslow County Environmental Health whether there’s a septic permit on file for the property.
Older systems
The county’s land use plan noted septic failures across the county and systems that are 60 years old or more, with many poorly performing or failing because of age or soil conditions. If your home is one of the older ones still on septic, regular pumping and a check of the tank and baffles go a long way.
Moving in or renting out
In a community close to Camp Lejeune, homes here change hands and tenants often, and nobody may know when the tank was last pumped. If you’ve just moved in, bought, or are about to rent out a home on septic, a pumping and a quick check give you a clean starting point.
