Beyond the sewer
Much of Rio Rancho is on city sewer, but large areas of the outer city — often called Rio Rancho Estates — are made up of lots without sewer service. New homes there need their own septic system.
Mesa conditions
- Sandy soil on the mesa
- Deeper groundwater than in the valley
- Dirt roads and long access drives
- Lots that may need wells too
Common projects
- New systems for new homes
- Tank replacement
- Manufactured home placements
Septic services in Rio Rancho Estates
- New septic systems and new home septic
- Tank replacement and drain field replacement
- Advanced treatment and high water table lots
- Site evaluations and permits
- Failing system diagnosis and risers and filters
Common questions
Is my Rio Rancho lot on sewer?
Check with the city utility. Many outer lots are not.
Is the mesa soil good for septic?
Often, but very sandy soil needs proper design.
Can you deliver a tank on a dirt road?
Usually — we plan access ahead.
