In Georgetown there is no public sewer to blame, so every drain problem stops at the property line. The town's own planning documents state that Georgetown has no municipal sewerage facility and that wastewater is handled by on-site septic systems or small neighbourhood package plants, and the 2026 Open Space plan still lists building a municipal sewer as a future goal. That makes the entire lateral, tank and leach field the homeowner's asset. Soils cut both ways here: 67% of the town is deep, well-to-excessively drained sand and gravel, while about 22% is poorly drained with a high water table. The Board of Health runs perc testing, well and pump permits, and publishes annual lists of septage haulers, septic installers and Title 5 inspectors.

"Georgetown currently operates without a municipal sewage system. Instead, all sewage is treated with on-site septic systems on individual properties," and the Master Plan notes many downtown septic systems "are barely meeting capacity requirements" while some parcels cannot accommodate a Title 5-compliant system at all.
Each Georgetown Water Department well has a Zone I radius of 400 feet, except the Tubular Wellfield at 250 feet, and the Zone II recharge area extends into Boxford and Groveland; septic systems and cesspools are named among the potential contamination threats in that recharge area.
The Board of Health administers Percolation Test Applications, Well & Pump Permit Applications, Trench Permits and local Title 5 Inspector approvals, and publishes annual town lists of septage and garbage haulers, septic installers, and Title 5 inspectors.
14.5% of housing in Georgetown was built before 1940 (472 of 3,257 units, ACS 2019-2023 5-year).
