Eau Claire sits at the confluence of the Chippewa and Eau Claire rivers, and a lot of the county — especially outside the city core and around Lake Hallie, Fall Creek Road, and the townships bordering Chippewa County — still runs on private septic systems rather than municipal sewer. Eau Claire County's Health Department enforces Wisconsin's statewide septic maintenance rule (SPS 383.52), which requires most systems to be inspected or pumped every three years, with reminder notices sent directly to homeowners when service is due. We know the area's clay-heavy soil and freeze-thaw winters put extra strain on drain fields, and we schedule accordingly.
We regularly service properties throughout the city and the surrounding county, including:
