Clarendon County played a pivotal role in American civil rights history. Briggs v. Elliott, filed in 1950 by twenty African American parents in Summerton, was the first case in the 20th century to challenge the constitutionality of racially segregated schools. It became one of the five cases consolidated into Brown v. Board of Education, the landmark 1954 Supreme Court decision that declared school segregation unconstitutional.

Winter Wet Season Septic Tips for Clarendon County
Clarendon County's water table is typically highest from December through March, when sustained winter rains keep the flat terrain saturated for extended periods. During these months, conserve water aggressively — fix leaky faucets, use high-efficiency fixtures, and avoid running multiple water-heavy appliances simultaneously. If you notice standing water, soggy ground, or sewage odors near your drain field during the wet season, contact a licensed septic professional immediately rather than waiting for conditions to worsen.

SCDES Septic Permit Requirements for Clarendon County
Clarendon County septic systems must be permitted through SCDES under Regulation 61-56. The county's low-lying Coastal Plain terrain features many poorly drained soils with seasonal high water tables, which often require alternative system designs such as mound systems (System Standard 420/421) or elevated infiltration systems (System Standard 601). Standard setbacks include 75 feet from private wells, 100 feet from public wells, 75 feet from Lake Marion and other water bodies, and 5 feet from property lines. The $150 site evaluation fee is required at permit application.

Septic Tips for Summerton Homeowners
Summerton homeowners with lakefront or near-lake properties should have their septic systems inspected annually, since a failing system this close to Lake Marion can cause real environmental harm. If your home uses an alternative system like a mound or aerobic treatment unit, these require more frequent maintenance than a conventional system — don't skip those scheduled service visits. Be sure to divert rainwater downspouts and sump pump discharge away from your drain field.
