Minden's town core has sewer. Step outside it, toward Johnson Lane, Genoa, or the valley ranches, and most homes are on septic and wells.
If your Minden home is on septic, we'll get a licensed, state-permitted pumper to your property with the price agreed up front. Pump-outs, inspections for home sales, alarm calls, risers, and drainfield repair.
