Bucks County Septic Service Areas
Bucks County Septic connects homeowners in Upper and Central Bucks with independent local providers for septic pumping, inspections, repairs and installation. Whether you're on septic usually depends on your township, not your mailing address. Many boroughs are mostly on public sewer, while the townships around them rely on on-lot systems. Find your area below, or request a quote and tell us your town.

Septic or Sewer?
Not sure? Check your water/sewer bill. A sewer charge from BCWSA or a borough authority usually means you're on public sewer. If you get a township pumping notice, you have an on-lot system.
