About Richland County

Richland County, home to Columbia and South Carolina's capital region, straddles the Fall Line with Piedmont clay soils in the northwest and Sandhills sand in the central and eastern sections. The sandy areas around Blythewood, Dentsville, and northeast Columbia offer excellent percolation for conventional septic systems, while the clay-heavy western sections may need engineered alternatives. Urban Columbia has extensive sewer infrastructure, but suburban and rural areas including Hopkins and Eastover depend on private wells tapping Sandhills or Coastal Plain aquifers and SCDES-permitted septic systems.
