Horry County Water Table and Septic Considerations
Horry County has some of the shallowest seasonal high water tables in the Pee Dee region, with many areas seeing saturation within 6 to 18 inches of the surface during the wet season. The county's flat topography and proximity to the coast mean that water has limited ability to drain, and tidal influences can push groundwater even higher in eastern areas near the Intracoastal Waterway. Mound systems and low-pressure pipe systems are commonly required across much of Horry County, and homeowners should plan for higher installation costs compared to counties with deeper water tables.

Horry County by the Numbers
Horry County is one of South Carolina's fastest-growing counties with a population exceeding 370,000 residents and over 219,000 housing units across 1,255 square miles. Growth has been explosive — the population increased nearly 4% in a single year. While the Grand Strand beach communities are largely on municipal sewer, inland and rural areas of Horry County still rely heavily on septic systems. Lot sizes vary dramatically from compact oceanfront parcels to expansive inland acreage.

High Water Table and Coastal Density Issues in Horry County
Horry County's porous sandy soils and high water table — especially around the Myrtle Beach area — create significant septic challenges. Rapid development has placed many septic systems close together in low-lying, wet areas, meaning the soil never fully recovers between absorption cycles. Rising sea levels are pushing the water table even higher, shrinking the vertical separation between drain fields and groundwater and allowing partially treated wastewater to reach nearby waterways.

SCDES Septic Permit Requirements for Horry County
Horry County septic permits are issued by SCDES under Regulation 61-56, with the local office reachable at (843) 915-8801. Due to the county's high water table and coastal location, many sites require alternative system designs such as mound systems (System Standard 420/421) or elevated infiltration systems (System Standard 601). Standard setbacks apply: 75 feet from private wells, 100 feet from public wells, 75 feet from surface water and tidal critical area lines, and 5 feet from property lines. The $150 site evaluation fee is required with the permit application.
