Call 843-543-3050Did You Know? — Florence County
The city of Florence was named in honor of Florence Harllee, daughter of W.W. Harllee, president of the Wilmington & Manchester Railroad. When the railroad purchased land in 1853 for a depot at the junction of three major rail lines, the town that grew up around it took the young girl's name. Florence grew into the Pee Dee's largest city thanks to its railroad crossroads.

Florence County Rivers, Watersheds, and Flood Zones
Florence County is bordered on the east by the Great Pee Dee River and on the west by the Lynches River, with Jeffries Creek flowing through the city of Florence itself before joining the Pee Dee. All three waterways are part of the Yadkin-Pee Dee River Basin and carry significant FEMA-designated floodplains through the county. The Lynches River, designated a State Scenic River for a 54-mile stretch (the longest in South Carolina), creates wide swamp corridors that are unsuitable for septic installation without elevated or alternative system designs.

SCDES Septic Permit Requirements for Florence County
Florence County septic permits are administered by SCDES under Regulation 61-56, with the local office located in Florence at (843) 661-4825. The $150 site evaluation fee applies, and a soil evaluation determines whether a conventional trench system or an alternative system (such as a mound or chamber system) is required. Setback requirements include 75 feet from private wells, 100 feet from public wells, 75 feet from streams and ponds, 25 feet from drainage ditches, and 5 feet from property lines. All systems must maintain a 50% reserve repair area on the property.

Wet Season Maintenance for Florence County Septic Systems
Florence County receives heavy rainfall from late summer through fall, and tropical storms moving up the Pee Dee River basin can cause widespread flooding. After any flooding event, do not use sinks or toilets until floodwaters recede and soil has had time to dry — using a flooded system pushes untreated waste into groundwater. Have your system professionally inspected after major storms, as silt and debris can clog both the tank and drain field.

Florence County Water Table and Septic Considerations
Most upland areas in Florence County have a seasonal high water table between 3 and 5 feet below the surface, which generally meets the minimum separation requirements for conventional septic systems. Along the Great Pee Dee River floodplain and Jeffries Creek corridor, the water table can rise to within 6 to 18 inches of the surface during the wet season from December through April. Homeowners in these low-lying areas should expect that a soil classifier may recommend a mound system or low-pressure pipe system to ensure proper wastewater treatment above the saturated zone.
