What the ground in Lake Havasu City is like

In Lake Havasu City, the leading limit is slope: the ground falls steeply enough that a level trench line is hard to hold. A drain field has to sit across the grade without concentrating flow downhill; on steeper parcels that layout gets tighter. The survey flags that limit on about 78% of the rated ground here.

The limiting features the survey records most often here:

• Slope77.5%
• Filtering capacity12.6%
• Flooding12.6%
• Depth to bedrock7.3%
