Escondido: Escondido splits between city sewer in the urban core and substantial private septic on the rural-edge parcels, Hidden Valley, Felicita, Eureka Springs, Daley Ranch perimeter, and the larger-lot residential zones in the surrounding hills. The septic side runs conventional gravity systems on inland-valley and decomposed-granite soils with 3-5 year pump cycles standard, shorter on horse and agricultural properties.
