What the ground in Mooresville is like

In Mooresville, the leading limit is slow water movement: effluent does not drain through the soil fast enough, so a conventional field can back up or pond when the ground cannot keep pace. The survey flags that limit on about 100% of the rated ground here.

• Slow water movement100.0%
