Staff: nearly all 2025 lots in Greenville County were served by public sewer; most subdivisions now on sewer
Summary
A staff report to the Planning and Development Committee found 72.4% of county subdivisions (21 of 29) are on public sewer; in 2025, 93.3% of new lots (1,430 of 1,532) were served by public sewer and public-sewer developments accounted for 83.4% of developed acreage (706 of 847).
Staff presented the annual update required by Resolution 1949 on May 18, reporting that public sewer serves the majority of county subdivisions and new lots in 2025.
Key figures presented: staff said 72.4% of all subdivisions in the county (21 of 29) are served by public sewer systems. Looking only at lots created in 2025, staff reported 1,430 of 1,532 lots (93.3%) were served by public sewer. Staff also reported that public‑sewer developments accounted for 83.4% of developed acreage in 2025, noted in the presentation as 706 of 847 acres. Staff added that only one septic‑served subdivision was approved last year in unzoned areas (eight lots).
A committee member asked about the 'sundown' date on the form; staff confirmed the resolution had been amended earlier in the year to extend the date to 2028 and said the corrected form should reflect that amendment. Staff said the report fulfills the annual update requirement and that they will return with next year’s data for 2026.
