What are you installing a septic system for?
We specialize in new installs for homes on rural land.
Weimar & Colorado County
New construction, manufactured & mobile homes
Out around Weimar, homes beyond the reach of city sewer run on their own septic system. We install new systems for new builds, manufactured homes, and mobile homes. We run the soil and perc testing, pull the Colorado County permit, and build it to pass inspection the first time.

Septic systems in Weimar
Weimar was founded in 1873 when T. W. Peirce, president of the Galveston, Harrisburg & San Antonio Railroad, built a depot here; the town was named for Weimar, Germany, and incorporated in 1875. It sits on I-10 in the western part of Colorado County, about 14 miles west of Columbus. The city's Public Works and Utilities Department provides water, sewer and electric service, with a treatment plant on East Charles Street, and the city's comprehensive plan (2001) found that virtually the entire city had water and sewer, while only city water reached into parts of the extraterritorial jurisdiction. That makes septic a question for the land around town, where the open farmland of the half-mile ETJ begins. Inside the city, Colorado County's septic program doesn't apply. Outside it, the Colorado County Permit Office in Columbus issues septic permits for $250, covering the application, permit, inspections and notice of approval; the county requires a permit regardless of acreage, and a subdivision plat in the city's ETJ needs the city's approval or an exemption. Frelsburg clay, a soil series named for a community in Colorado County, is one of the most common soils near Weimar, and the area is the clayiest of the five Colorado and Austin County towns we serve.
Septic conditions around Weimar
We ran 35 spots within 5 miles of downtown Weimar through the same public data our free land check uses: the USDA soil survey, FEMA's flood maps and the National Wetlands Inventory. Here is what they show for a new septic system.

Most of the ground around Weimar won't take a standard gravity drainfield: water moves through the soil too slowly. Plan on an aerobic system with spray or drip dispersal, from $11,950 installed. The two soil borings on your own lot make the final call. Prices cover the system and installation; the site evaluation, design and county permit are quoted separately.
3 of the 35 spots are in a FEMA high-risk flood zone. A lot there adds floodplain rules to the septic design and usually a county floodplain permit, so check your lot's zone early.

A map sample isn't your lot. The USDA soil survey maps the landscape at 1:24,000, and Texas requires a licensed site evaluator or engineer to evaluate every tract before a permit (30 TAC §285.30). Run your own address through the free land check to see what the maps show for your lot.

What we install in Weimar
Site Evaluation & Perc Testing
We evaluate your soil and run the percolation test that determines how well your ground absorbs water — the foundation of a system that works.
System Design & Sizing
We size the tank and drainfield to your home's bedroom count and your soil's absorption rate, then engineer a layout that fits your lot.
Permitting & County Approval
We prepare and submit your on-site sewage facility (OSF) permit application and coordinate approvals with your county health department.
Excavation & Site Prep
We prepare the site and excavate for the tank and drainfield with the right grade and setbacks — protecting your wells, structures, and property lines.
Tank Installation
We set the septic tank, connect the inlet and outlet plumbing at the correct grade, and install the effluent filter and risers for easy future access.
Drainfield Installation
We install the drainfield (leach field) that disperses treated effluent safely into the soil, sized to your percolation results and available area.
Built for Colorado County soils
Advanced aerobic treatment systems
The USDA soil survey rates most of the ground around Weimar "very limited" for a standard drainfield: it drains too slowly, holds a high water table part of the year, or both. On lots like that a standard gravity drainfield won't pass, so you'll need an aerobic system with drip or spray dispersal. We don't guess at it — the on-site soil test tells us exactly what your lot can take.
We handle Colorado County permitting for Weimar
Septic permits around Weimar are issued locally, usually by Colorado County. We put the application together, turn in the soil and design paperwork, and stay on it through approval and the final inspection — so you're not the one chasing the permit office.

Weimar septic questions
Does Weimar's city sewer reach outside the city?
Mostly not. The city's 2001 comprehensive plan found that virtually the entire city had water and sewer, and that city water, not sewer, extended into parts of the extraterritorial jurisdiction. So land around Weimar generally needs its own septic system, even where it can get city water.
Who permits septic systems near Weimar?
Outside the city limits, the Colorado County Permit Office at 305 Radio Lane in Columbus: $250 for a single-family home, a permit required at any acreage, valid for one year, with a final inspection before the system is covered. Spray-dispersal aerobic systems also need the state-required two-year maintenance contract.
What soils are common around Weimar?
Heavier ones than elsewhere in the area. Frelsburg clay, a series named for the Frelsburg community in Colorado County, is among the most common, along with Dubina loamy fine sand and Carbengle sandy clay loam, which can have shallow bedrock. The soil table above shows the mix; your site evaluation decides the system.
Will I need an aerobic septic system in Weimar?
Probably. Of the 35 spots we checked within 5 miles of downtown Weimar, 35 point to an aerobic system, mainly because water moves through the soil too slowly. Aerobic systems start at $11,950 installed (the site evaluation, design and permit are quoted separately). The two soil borings on your lot make the final call.
Is Weimar in a flood zone?
Parts of the area are. 3 of the 35 spots we checked within 5 miles of downtown Weimar are inside a FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area (the 100-year floodplain). Your own lot's zone is what counts, so run the address through our free land check before you buy or design.
Do you install septic systems in Weimar?
Yes. We install new septic systems on land in and around Weimar and across Colorado County — for new construction, manufactured homes, and mobile homes. Inside city limits that have city sewer, you'll usually connect to the sewer instead.
How much does a septic system cost in Weimar?
Most Weimar installs run between $8,000 and $13,950 — $8,000 for a conventional system where the soil allows it, $11,950 for an aerobic spray system, and $13,950 for an aerobic system with drip dispersal. The soil evaluation (perc test), the engineered design, and the county permit are quoted separately. Run the instant estimate for a ballpark, and we'll confirm the exact number once we've seen the lot.
Do I need a permit for a septic system in Weimar?
Yes. Every new septic system needs a permit and a soil evaluation before anyone digs. Around Weimar the permit usually comes from Colorado County, and we take care of all of it for you.
