Raised septic system on a lot in Onondaga County near Syracuse, NY

North of the city: the lake plain

Clay, Cicero, Hastings, Sullivan and much of Lysander sit on flat ground left by an old glacial lake. Groundwater rises close to the surface for part of the year, and raised systems are common.

South and west: till hills

Onondaga, Camillus, Van Buren, Manlius and DeWitt sit on glacial till, outwash and in places shallow rock. Slow water movement and slope shape the systems here.

Pages by place

  • Syracuse

    The city itself, where most homes are sewered and the tanks sit on its edges.

  • Camillus

    Septic work on the rolling till hills west of Syracuse, where slope and slow subsoil shape every field.

  • Cicero

    Septic work between Oneida Lake, the Cicero Swamp and the new subdivisions going up on old farmland.

  • Clay

    Septic work on the flat lake-plain ground between the Oneida and Seneca rivers, where the water table decides most of it.

  • DeWitt

    Septic work on the edges of a mostly sewered suburb, concentrated in the south around Jamesville.

  • Hastings

    Septic work just over the Oswego County line, where the county health department and the soil both change the rules.

  • Lysander

    Septic work from the river hamlets to the farm country toward the Oswego and Cayuga county lines.

  • Manlius

    Septic work across limestone ridges, gravel outwash and the low ground along Chittenango and Limestone creeks.

  • Onondaga

    Septic work in the hills just south and west of the city, where hamlets give way to steep, slow-draining ground.

  • Sullivan

    Septic work in Madison County's northwest corner, from the lakeside hamlets to the farm roads south of the Thruway.

  • Van Buren

    Septic work on the slow-draining till south of the Seneca River, where field size matters more than groundwater.

Talk it through before anyone digs

Say what the house is doing, how old the system is and when the tank was last pumped. You will hear what the job usually involves, what it tends to cost, and whether it needs digging at all.
