Septic services in Lebanon, TN depend on where your house drain goes. Inside the city, the City of Lebanon runs its own Sewer Department. Out in the rest of Wilson County, many homes rely on a septic tank and a drain field. Some developments use STEP systems instead, so a backed-up drain can lead to three different fixes.

Lebanon is the county seat of Wilson County. The city had 38,431 people at the 2020 Census and covers 38.63 square miles. Interstate 40 runs south of town, and three of its exits serve Lebanon. The city is also home to Cumberland University, which dates to 1842.
In town, the sewer runs through the city's own utilities. Past the reach of that sewer, a home on septic treats its own wastewater. The septic tank holds back the solids, and the drain field lets the liquid soak into the ground. If you are buying one of those homes, a septic inspection shows the shape of both before closing.
The Water and Wastewater Authority of Wilson County covers a third group. It serves homes and small businesses that the county's city sewers do not reach, typically in small to mid-size developments. Its systems are STEP systems, which the Authority spells out as sewage treatment effluent pumps.
The Wilson County Codes and Zoning Department does not permit or inspect septic systems. Its page sends septic work to the state and STEP systems to the Water and Wastewater Authority. Each of those offices handles its own permits and inspections.
In Tennessee, a property owner who wants a new septic system installed must get a Septic System Construction Permit. The same permit is required to repair an existing system that is faulty. Around Lebanon, both come from the state.
The state charges no permit fee for a repair permit. Ask about the permit before any repair work starts, and plan for it before a septic tank installation too. Our guide to septic permits in Tennessee walks through the steps.
Locals call Lebanon Cedar City, mostly for its many eastern red cedars. Wilson County also has a large concentration of cedar glades. In a glade, the soil is too rocky or shallow for trees to grow. Many sit in Cedars of Lebanon State Park, which protects a globally rare cedar glade ecosystem.
Shallow, rocky ground is a good reason to check the system and the site before anyone digs. That holds for new work and for repairs. Our drain field repair work rebuilds failed or saturated fields with new gravel and fabric trenches.
Some backups start at the tank instead of the field. On the tank side, septic repair fixes pumps and floats, alarms and panels, baffles and tank connections. Buried lids have to be dug out at every pumping. A septic tank riser brings the lid up to the surface.
Homes on the City of Lebanon sewer still drain through a line under the yard to the city main. Roots and broken joints in that line show up as slow drains and gurgling toilets. A sewer camera inspection finds the trouble spot before any digging starts. Then sewer line repair replaces the bad section.
The digging is ours too, with our own compact track loader and small excavator. Where a sewer line passes under a road, our crew opens the asphalt with a saw and lays the pipe. Once the pipe is in, we patch the road.
STEP homes split the work another way. The Authority and its maintenance partner generally run and maintain the system outside the outfall line from the home. That line and the house plumbing are the homeowner's, and our drain cleaning and line repair fit there. For the STEP tank, pump, alarm or panel, call the Authority.
