Digging and draining in Southworth depend on the soil. Point Southworth is a high glacial plateau ending in clay cliffs above the water, which is why the elevation listed for the CDP is several hundred feet even though the ferry landing is at sea level. Bluff lots are unstable in wet winters. Harper sits low around a tidal estuary with a high water table. Inland, the ground is rolling till with hardpan a few feet down. We reach Southworth in about 15 to 20 minutes east of Port Orchard on Sedgwick Road, State Route 160, and the trucks go out stocked for the jobs this community generates most.

It helps to know who delivers the water. A mix. Some of the Harper and Southworth area falls within Manchester Water District's boundary, while many homes along Sedgwick Road, Banner Road and the back roads are on private wells or small shared systems.
