# Water and Sewer Research | What FOUND Checks

How FOUND checks water and wastewater for North Carolina sites: public water systems, sewer service areas, septic records, and supply context.

## Water decides more deals than it should

Cooling needs water. Homes need sewer or septic. We find out early which one the land can count on.

## What we check

- Public water systems that serve the area, and their public supply data.
- Sewer service areas and the nearest mapped lines where published.
- Septic records where the county keeps them.
- Soils that affect septic suitability.

## Where the record stops

A system near the site is not a will-serve letter. Capacity and extension costs come from the water or sewer provider.
