McAllen Septic serves McAllen and the Hidalgo County towns within 20 miles of it. Septic is a fringe service here: most of McAllen runs on city sewer, so the tanks and drain fields sit on the rural roads and in the subdivisions between the towns, and that is where most calls come from.
Who Permits Septic Work Where You Live
In unincorporated Hidalgo County, permits come from the county's Environmental Health Division in Edinburg, which issues two permits per system and requires a floodplain determination first. McAllen and Mission appear on TCEQ's list as their own permitting authorities. If you are not sure which side of a city line you are on, the contractor who quotes your septic system installation or drain field repair will check before any work starts.
Each town page below covers its own sewer and septic picture, its ZIP codes and the local details that change a job, from flood-prone ground to lot sizes.
