The systems that come with the land
Service in Wedgefield varies by section: some streets are on community utility service while many properties — especially the larger acreage lots — run on a private well and a septic system. Always verify what serves a specific address before you buy; the sellers' disclosure and the county are the places to ask.
If you do own a well and septic: test well water annually (bacteria and nitrates at minimum), pump the septic tank roughly every three to five years depending on household size, keep vehicles off the drainfield, and space out heavy water use during storms when the ground is saturated. New wells and well work require a licensed contractor and a district permit, and septic permitting and inspections run through the state's onsite sewage program.
