Septic services in Delaware
What Delaware homes mean for septic services
Delaware's downtown and most of the incorporated city carry municipal sewer, but the exurban subdivisions and rural parcels ringing the city depend on private systems regulated by the Delaware Public Health District. Many of these outlying parcels draw their water from Del-Co Water rural lines while handling their own wastewater on site, a common pairing in this county. Older rural tanks near downtown tend to be simple gravity systems, while newer subdivision lots on marginal clay soils more often need an engineered or aerobic treatment unit.
Delaware sits directly on the Olentangy River, with Delaware Dam and Delaware Lake just north of downtown holding back the river's upper watershed.
