The ground around Lockhart
Much of the land around Lockhart is prairie clay that drains slowly and moves with wet and dry seasons, so aerobic spray systems are common. Toward the eastern side of the county the ground gets sandier. The site evaluation, not the neighbor’s system, decides what goes in.
Who permits septic here
In unincorporated Caldwell County, the county’s Sanitation and Development Services office handles septic permits and oversight. Permits there are by appointment.
Contracts and dry years
Larry’s offers aerobic maintenance contracts in Caldwell County. In long droughts, clay shrinks and cracks, and pipes and tanks can shift with it. A maintenance visit catches a broken line or a dry, dead spray area before it becomes a backup.
