Small Town, Own Identity
A Community With Its Own School District — and Its Own Septic Systems
Science Hill is one of the few communities in the county with a genuine independent identity: it runs its own K-8 school district, separate from Pulaski County Schools, before students move on to either Pulaski County High School or Southwestern High School. That same small-town self-sufficiency shows up in how homes here handle wastewater. There's no municipal sewer system serving Science Hill — septic tanks are simply how the town operates, from the older homes near downtown to newer construction on the outskirts.
Growing Along the Highway
New Homes Are Following KY 635 Through Science Hill
Kentucky Route 635 runs 13.566 miles through Pulaski County by way of Science Hill, connecting KY 70 near Bethelridge to KY 39 near Dabney, with KY Route 1247 running just east of downtown. New rooftops have followed that corridor — the town's population climbed from 652 at the 2020 census to an estimated 670 today, a gain of roughly 2.76 percent. Every one of those newer homes needs a septic system sized and sited correctly from the start, not patched together after the fact once something goes wrong.
New to Septic?
What First-Time Septic Owners in Science Hill Should Know
If you moved to Science Hill from a home that was on city sewer, a private septic system is a different kind of responsibility — nothing to it day to day, but not something to ignore either. Know roughly where your tank and drain field sit before you plant a tree or park equipment on top of them. Go easy on grease, wipes, and heavy chemicals going down the drain, since they're hard on a system this size supports. And keep a rough pumping schedule in mind rather than waiting for a problem to announce itself. None of that is complicated, but it's a different mindset than city-sewer living trains you for.
