A City Built Around One Plant
How Spring Hill Grew Past Its Sewer Line
Between July 2020 and July 2021, Census data ranked Spring Hill among the ten fastest-growing cities in the entire country — a title that's now history, but the building it set off never really slowed down. Go back further and the scale of it is even clearer: when General Motors opened its Spring Hill plant in 1990, the city's population stood at just 1,464 people. Everything you see today, from the subdivisions to the strip retail to the traffic on Main Street, grew up around that single decision.
General Motors is still the anchor. The Spring Hill plant runs with more than 5,000 employees, and in June 2025 GM announced a $4 billion investment tied to the plant that includes Blazer production starting in 2027 and more than 1,800 jobs across two separate Spring Hill investment rounds — on top of earlier expansions announced separately in 2022 ($275 million) and in a later $790 million round. Every one of those jobs is a household, and a good share of those households land outside the reach of the Reclamation Division's sewer lines.
Sewer or Septic
Inside Spring Hill's 1.5-Acre Rule
Spring Hill's Water Reclamation Division operates a 5-million-gallon-per-day treatment plant and maintains more than 150 miles of sanitary sewer line within the city limits — a serious system for a city this size. But it doesn't reach every parcel inside the city boundary, let alone the annexed and edge-of-town land still catching up to development. Spring Hill's own zoning ordinance spells out what happens on the rest of it: any property not served by city sanitary sewer must sit on a minimum of 1.5 acres, effectively writing septic into the code for every off-sewer lot in town.
That combination — a still-expanding sewer network chasing a still-expanding city — means Spring Hill has more septic systems going into new lots right now than almost anywhere else in the market, most of them recently installed and not yet due for their first serious inspection.

Septic inspections in Spring Hill →Permitting
Every Spring Hill Installation Runs on a State Permit
A new septic system on a Spring Hill lot, or a repair to an existing one, needs a TDEC construction permit before any dirt gets moved — Tennessee law treats installing, altering, or repairing a subsurface sewage disposal system the same way statewide, and a malfunctioning system needs its own repair permit filed first. For Spring Hill and the rest of Maury County, that paperwork runs through the Columbia Environmental Field Office. We pull the permit as part of the job on every new install, so a homeowner building on a fresh 1.5-acre lot isn't left figuring out state requirements on top of everything else that goes into a new build.

Spring Hill Septic Questions
What Spring Hill Homeowners Ask Us
Does my Spring Hill property have to be on septic, or can I get city sewer?
It depends on the lot. Spring Hill's Water Reclamation Division runs a 5-MGD treatment plant and more than 150 miles of sewer line inside the city limits, but plenty of annexed and edge-of-town parcels sit outside that network. City zoning requires any property not served by sanitary sewer to sit on at least 1.5 acres, which is Spring Hill's own way of acknowledging that septic is the default once you're off the line.
What septic systems work best on Spring Hill's smaller off-sewer lots?
Where lot size, tight soil, or an older drainfield rules out a standard gravity system, low-pressure pipe and drip distribution are the two alternatives we install and service most in Spring Hill. Both dose effluent in controlled amounts instead of relying on gravity, which lets them work on tighter and more difficult sites than a conventional field.
Who needs to be licensed to pump or install a septic system in Tennessee?
Two separate credentials, both issued by TDEC. Installing, altering, or repairing a system requires an SSDS Installer Permit, renewed every December 31st. Pumping requires a Septic Tank Pumping Contractor permit under a different section of the same state rule. Ask any company working on your property which permits they hold — it's a fair question.
Does Tennessee require a septic inspection before I sell my Spring Hill home?
No statewide law requires one, but FHA and VA loans commonly do, and with Spring Hill home sales moving as fast as they have, buyers increasingly ask for one anyway. Sellers are still required to disclose known sinkholes, injection wells, and any past perc-test or soil results, so it rarely pays to skip the inspection.
