Most new single-family houses completed in 2022 were using public sewers, although there were also a significant amount of homes using individual septic systems. Out of the 852,000 houses using the public sewers, around 848,000 of them had a public water supply source. However, the number of new homes with an individual or public water supply source was more equally distributed among those houses who had an individual septic system.
