With about 17,194 people, Zephyrhills is one of Pasco County's main communities, and for homes on septic, regular inspection and pumping are the core upkeep. After Hurricane Milton in October 2024, the Hillsborough River at Zephyrhills crested nearly 2 feet above its record height, according to National Weather Service gauges. Below you can compare 11 septic companies that pump septic tanks in Zephyrhills.
Left too long, a septic tank in Zephyrhills can push solids into the drain field and clog it. The early warning signs are sewage odors, slow drains and wet spots over the drain field after storms, and the worst case is sewage backing up into the house. Pumping on a regular schedule usually costs much less than repairing or replacing a drain field.
Slow drains or a smell in the yard? Start with the signs that a septic tank is full.
Zephyrhills runs its own sewer utility and has been asking the state to help extend it to septic areas. A November 2023 funding request for the 6th Avenue project covers about 67 properties, roughly 150 residents, just east of city limits but inside the city's utility service area, and the city offered to waive $2,090 in connection impact fees for residents. A second request aims to prevent up to 400 new septic systems. After Hurricane Milton, the Hillsborough River at Zephyrhills crested nearly 2 feet above its record, and the city asked residents to stop flushing because the sewer system could not keep up. Septic owners in flooded areas may want to limit water use the same way.

Zephyrhills has about 4,783 single-family detached houses, 48% of its 9,937 homes. The median home was built in 1990; 34% were built before 1980 and 22% since 2010.
