Water & Septic
About Water & Septic
Black River Contracting provides water and septic excavation services for residential, agricultural, and rural properties. Our work focuses on proper trenching, placement, and backfill to support reliable long-term system performance.
We are a South Dakota certified on-site wastewater installer, so we can install a complete septic system, not just dig for one. See septic system installation.
We work with property owners, installers, and inspectors to prepare sites for new systems and repairs while minimizing disruption to existing operations.
