This page is about getting you to it, not about pretending we hold something we do not. The county is genuinely mixed: 9,500 of 21,632 classified parcels are on septic and the rest are sewered. Which side of that line a Lancaster address falls on is worth establishing before anything else. The county publishes a records portal that we were able to search without creating an account, which makes checking a specific parcel something you can do yourself in a few minutes.
