Did You Know? — Florence County

On March 11, 1958, an unarmed 7,600-pound Mark 6 atomic bomb accidentally fell from a U.S. Air Force B-47 bomber onto a farm in Florence County, creating a massive crater. Fortunately, the nuclear core was not installed. The incident remains one of the most dramatic "Broken Arrow" events in American military history, and the Mars Bluff crater is still visible today.

About Florence County — What Affects Your Septic System

Water Table

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.

Local Statistics

Florence County by the Numbers

Florence County has a population of approximately 138,000 residents with about 64,900 housing units across 804 square miles. As the regional hub of the Pee Dee, Florence has more extensive municipal sewer infrastructure than surrounding counties, though homes outside city limits — especially in the southern and western portions — commonly use septic systems. Lot sizes range from quarter-acre city lots to multi-acre rural parcels.

Local Geography

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.

What People Are Saying

We had a nightmare scenario with our septic system backing up over the weekend. After frantically calling several companies and only getting voicemails, I was so relieved when SepticWorkz answered immediately. They were professional and calming on the phone and promised to have a technician out as soon as possible.
