I think the area around the bridge and just south has a lot of rocky ledge and doesn't drain very well at all. Many people have springs in their basements and open water draining into streets.
When our neighbors up the hill dug for a new house they hit ground water 18" under grade in some spots. Their foundation filled up like a swimming pool. There certainly are some regular systems around here that leach well, but every new system I've seen the past 5 years has been above ground.
Wipe, I do need to dig a trench and install some drain pipe to route water away from the leach field. Grab a shovel and come on over
