Opelousas is the parish seat of St. Landry Parish and one of the oldest settlements in Louisiana, founded in 1720. Today it's home to roughly 16,000 residents and stretches across a wide area of historic neighborhoods, working farms, and residential subdivisions. While Opelousas has municipal sewer in much of the city core, the surrounding St. Landry Parish countryside — including unincorporated communities like Sunset, Grand Coteau, and Arnaudville — is heavily dependent on individual septic systems, as are many of the homes on the outskirts of Opelousas itself.
St. Landry Parish straddles a transition zone between the Coteau prairie clays to the south and the Atchafalaya Basin alluvial soils to the east. This means septic conditions vary significantly across the area: properties on the higher prairie ground generally have better drainage than those in low-lying basin-edge areas, where the water table can rise sharply during heavy rains. Older homes throughout the parish — and Opelousas has plenty of them, given the city's age — may have concrete tanks dating back several decades, sometimes installed without proper soil testing or sizing for the household's actual needs.
