Septic and wells are common
Much of Sebastian was built out on a large platted subdivision, Sebastian Highlands, and many homes there were built with septic tanks and private wells. That makes septic pumping, drain field repair, water testing and water treatment some of the most common needs in town. Indian River County has worked on lagoon protection and septic to sewer efforts, so ask about your area if a septic replacement is on the table.
