The short answer

Who permits a septic system in Loganville, and when do you have to use city sewer?

Loganville sits in both Walton and Gwinnett counties. Where the city's utility says sewer is available, septic is not allowed and you connect. Elsewhere, the county line decides: Walton County Environmental Health or GNR's Gwinnett office issues the septic permit. Atlanta Water & Sewage Solutions works both sides and handles the permit.

Sorting a Loganville lot: sewer first, then the county line

Loganville's development regulations set the order. We run through it with you before any trench is opened.
  1. 01

    Ask the city first. Loganville's utility department decides whether public sewer is available to the lot.

  2. 02

    If it is, the regulations bar a septic tank and every structure must tie in. Budget the $4,500 residential connection fee.

  3. 03

    If sewer is not available, the lot's county picks the health department, and that permit has to be in hand before the city issues a building permit.

  4. 04

    Walton side: Walton County Environmental Health, part of the Northeast Health District, issues new-tank permits, repair permits and existing-system evaluations, starting from its site evaluation form and a staked site.

  5. 05

    Gwinnett side: GNR Health wants a Level 3 soil report from a certified soil classifier for every septic permit, repairs included, and has since February 7, 2022.

Sewer or septic?

Is your Loganville address sewered?

The city collection system serves areas inside the corporate limits only, so a Loganville mailing address outside them will not be on city sewer.

Inside the limits, don't assume either way. No published map shows which parcels are on the mains, and the city utility is the one that rules on availability.

How to tell which one you have

  • Your Loganville utility bill shows a sewer charge, or it doesn't.
  • Check the property tax bill or plat for Walton or Gwinnett; that names your health department if you're on septic.
  • Tank lids or a riser in the yard mean septic.

The Loganville story

Young houses, first-round septic problems

Half of Loganville's homes were built in 2004 or later. That makes the town younger than most of Walton, and it changes the kind of call we get. The tanks here are not failing from old age; they are reaching the point where skipped pumping and an overloaded field start to show.

Those systems also sit on both sides of a county line that runs through the city. Two neighbors on the same street edge can deal with two different offices: one in Monroe, one on Grayson Highway in Lawrenceville. A Gwinnett-side repair starts with a soil classifier's report; a Walton-side repair starts with a repair permit application.

Where the city has sewer, the work is laterals and taps. Loganville treats its own flow at the plant on Highway 81 North and discharges to Big Flat Creek.

Which health department handles septic permits in Loganville?

It depends on the county under your lot. Loganville's development regulations send septic approvals to the Walton or the Gwinnett County health department. On the Walton side that is Walton County Environmental Health in Monroe; on the Gwinnett side it is GNR Public Health's Gwinnett office in Lawrenceville. Your tax bill or plat tells you which.

Can I keep or install a septic tank in Loganville if sewer is nearby?

Not if the city says sewer is available. Loganville's regulations state that no septic tanks are allowed where public sewer is available, that all structures must connect, and that the utility department makes the call. Ask for that determination before you design a new system or buy a lot.

Source: City of Loganville Development Regulations (adopted 2020, amended Aug 8, 2024)

What does it cost to connect to Loganville sewer?

The city's fee schedule effective July 1, 2026 lists a $4,500 residential sewer connection fee. Commercial projects pay $500 for a sewer capacity letter. The trenching and pipe from your house to the city line, and closing out an old tank, are separate from that fee.

Source: City of Loganville Schedule of Fees, Planning and Development (as of July 1, 2026)

Do I need a soil report for a septic repair in the Gwinnett part of Loganville?

Yes. GNR Health has required a Level 3 soil report, prepared by a certified soil classifier, for all septic permits, repairs included, since February 7, 2022. On the Walton County side, the documented Level III requirement applies to additions to an existing system.

How much is a septic permit on the Walton side of Loganville?

Walton County Environmental Health charges $425 to permit and inspect a new residential system and $200 for a residential repair permit, under the fee schedule effective August 1, 2024. For comparison, GNR's Gwinnett residential site evaluation, permit and first inspection is $275 as of January 1, 2026.

Where does Loganville get its water, and who owns the service line?

Loganville runs its own distribution network but buys the water wholesale from the City of Monroe, Walton County and Gwinnett County, with Monroe and Walton as the main sources. We found no published Loganville rule on the service-line ownership point, so confirm with the city before a repair.

Source: Loganville Annual Water Report Released (City of Loganville, June 30, 2026)

Where is Loganville's sewage treated?

At the city's Water Quality Control Facility at 4895 Highway 81 North, rated for 3.33 million gallons a day. Treated water goes to Big Flat Creek, and up to 0.25 million gallons a day is spray-irrigated on 40 acres of land-application fields.
