Private wells and septic guidance for rural Harrison County homes
Many rural Harrison County properties rely on a private well and an on-site septic system, which carry owner responsibilities most newcomers from town do not expect.
Most rural Harrison County homes, outside Bethany, Cainsville, and Gilman City, use a private well for water and a septic system for wastewater. No one tests your well unless you set it up. A septic system needs care and occasional pumping, and new systems follow state and sometimes county rules. Ask the local office.
