a <br /> the house is located less than 15' from the well. The former <br /> occupant of the property was wary of the minimal separation <br /> between well and septic tank and used the septic system sparingly <br /> by never f lushing the toi let (he carried it out to his garden). <br /> Although we do not know whether the septic system has had any <br /> effect on the well , we do know the septic tank and any drainfield <br /> that might exist are severely substandard and will not be re- <br /> certified for usage. It is my recommendation that the existing <br /> septic system be totally abandoned, and that the well be <br /> carefully scrutinized by a licensed well contractor and tested <br /> for water quality and yield, and that applicants make a <br /> determination based on expert advice whether to continue to use <br /> or abandon the well. A location for a new well meeting all <br /> sanitary setbacks appears feasible if that route is chosen. <br /> 2 <br />
