About St. Clair County

St. Clair County in southeast Michigan borders the St. Clair River and Lake Huron's southern tip, with flat to gently rolling lake-plain and clay till soils in rural northern townships where private septic and well systems are the norm. Properties near the St. Clair River should test well water for industrial contaminants given the area's petrochemical history, and clay soils often require alternative septic systems.
