Service region

Eastern Plains

This region covers eastern New Mexico's agricultural and open areas. Septic needs are influenced by field access, highway corridors, town edges, and surrounding land use.

Counties in this region

Seven counties sit in the eastern plains belt.

Lea County

Hobbs growth, oilfield support pockets, and open desert properties.

Eddy County

Carlsbad growth, industrial edges, and rural properties.

Curry County

Clovis-area neighborhoods and longer farm-country routes.

Quay County

Corridor roads, agricultural ground, and highway-adjacent parcels.

Local context

Septic considerations on the plains

  • Farm roads and field access shape how quickly a property can be reached.
  • Town edges blend residential, industrial, and agricultural uses.
  • Long, open spacing makes the counties feel larger than the town names suggest.
