Septic service in Prescott Valley's outlying areas
Most of Prescott Valley's core is on town sewer. These are the homes that aren't.
Prescott Valley is the largest town in the Quad Cities area, with 46,785 residents at the 2020 census. It incorporated in 1978, sits about eight miles east of Prescott at roughly 5,100 feet, and is watched over by Glassford Hill, which was an active volcano 10 to 14 million years ago.
Who here is on septic?
The Town of Prescott Valley operates a sewer utility, and the subdivisions in the town's core are largely served by it. Septic shows up on larger lots at the edges of town and on unincorporated land nearby with Prescott Valley addresses, such as acreage around Coyote Springs to the north. Mailing addresses don't tell you much here, so check your utility bill for a sewer charge or ask the county whether a septic permit is on file.
Hillside and rocky lots
On sloped, rocky ground in the foothills, finding enough suitable soil for a disposal field can be the hardest part of a new build or a field replacement. That's where alternative treatment systems are common. Those systems have pumps, floats and alarms, and need regular service to keep working.
Common jobs
- Transfer inspections on acreage homes
- Service and repair on alternative systems
- New systems for homes on vacant lots
- Routine pumping
Common questions
My address says Prescott Valley. Am I on sewer?
Not necessarily. Unincorporated areas can have Prescott Valley addresses and no sewer. Check your utility bill or ask the county about a septic permit.
Can an alternative system's alarm be ignored?
No. An alarm usually means the pump or treatment unit isn't working. Cut back on water use and call.
