Septic service in Fairfield, OH
Most homes in the City of Fairfield are on the city's sanitary sewer. We help the properties that still have a septic tank—pumping, repair, inspections, and drain field work—and we can tell you how that differs from Fairfield Township next door. Call or send a short note if you need septic service.
City sewer covers most of Fairfield
The City of Fairfield Public Utilities Department provides water and sanitary sewer service to a population of over 44,000. The city collects and treats roughly 2 billion gallons of wastewater a year and maintains more than 350 miles of water and sewer mains.
If your city utility bill includes a sewer charge, your home is on the municipal system and does not have a septic tank to pump. That is the usual case inside city limits. Our sewer-or-septic guide walks through the quick checks when a bill or older house leaves you unsure.
City of Fairfield is not Fairfield Township
Fairfield Township sits north of the city and is a separate government. Many township lots still use household sewage treatment systems, and those permits run through the Butler County General Health District. The city page and the Fairfield Township page cover different places on purpose so you land on the right facts.
If a city parcel still has a septic tank—an older lot that never connected, or a system found during a sale—use a provider registered with the local health district for sewage work. Confirm which office applies to your address before repair or replacement. Ohio's statewide rules for these systems are in OAC Chapter 3701-29.

Common questions
- Does the City of Fairfield run its own sewer system?
- Yes. Fairfield Public Utilities provides sanitary sewer (and water) service inside the city. Most addresses are on that system.
- I live in Fairfield Township. Is this the right page?
- No. Fairfield Township is separate from the City of Fairfield. Use the Fairfield Township septic service page for township addresses and Butler County health-district permit questions.
- Who do I call about a septic permit for a Fairfield-area property?
- For unincorporated Butler County, including Fairfield Township, contact the Butler County General Health District. For a parcel inside the City of Fairfield that still has a septic system, confirm the right office with the health district before you hire work.
