Did You Know? — Georgetown County

Hobcaw Barony is a 16,000-acre wildlife preserve on a peninsula between Winyah Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. Originally developed as a dozen rice plantations, the land was purchased by Wall Street financier Bernard Baruch in 1905 as a winter retreat. His daughter Belle later donated it as a research preserve. Visitors can tour the Baruch mansion, historic slave villages, and one of the most pristine natural habitats on the East Coast.

About Georgetown County — What Affects Your Septic System

Local Geography

Georgetown County Rivers, Watersheds, and Flood Zones

Georgetown County is defined by water: four major rivers — the Waccamaw, Great Pee Dee, Black, and Sampit — converge at Winyah Bay, one of the largest estuaries on the East Coast. The narrow Waccamaw Neck peninsula between the Waccamaw River and the Atlantic Ocean is particularly flood-prone, and the county contains extensive FEMA-designated floodplains along all four river corridors. Septic installations near any of these waterways require elevated or alternative designs, and properties within FEMA flood zones face additional regulatory requirements for system placement and construction.

Local Statistics

Georgetown County by the Numbers

Georgetown County has a population of approximately 65,500 residents and roughly 35,000 housing units spread across 815 square miles. The county includes a mix of historic neighborhoods on municipal sewer and vast rural tracts on septic systems. Coastal areas like Pawleys Island and Litchfield tend to have more sewer access, while inland properties typically rely on septic. Lot sizes range from modest in-town parcels to sprawling multi-acre former plantation properties.

Local Soil Conditions

Pawleys Island Soil & Septic Conditions

Pawleys Island and its surrounding mainland areas have very sandy, well-drained soils typical of barrier island and coastal environments. While sand drains quickly, the water table can be extremely shallow — sometimes just one to two feet below the surface — which limits how deep a drain field can be installed. Many properties here require engineered or raised septic systems to maintain proper separation from groundwater.
