Septic Service in Jones County, NC
Pollocksville, Trenton, and Maysville each run a small town sewer system, but most of Jones County is rural, and homes outside those town lines depend on septic. If yours is one of them, here’s what to know.
Town sewer, rural septic
Each of the county’s three towns operates its own wastewater system: Pollocksville uses a lagoon and spray field, while Trenton and Maysville run treatment plants. Outside those town limits, there’s no public sewer, and homes rely on their own septic tanks and drain fields.

Flooding along the Trent
Hurricane Florence in 2018 flooded Trenton’s wastewater plant near the Trent River, and the town later opened a new plant outside the floodplain. Rural septic systems near the river face the same water. If your tank or drain field sat in floodwater, wait for the ground to dry, then have the system checked before normal use.
