Dear Ms. Gibson:
In regards to the existing private well located at 35 Birch Road, South Windsor,Connecticut,the town health
department does not require a private well owner to connect to the public water supply. Private well owners
are responsible for their own water quality; wellhead protection, well maintenance and water testing. Only
new wells have to meet requirements in accordance with section 19-13-B101 of the Connecticut Public
Health Code.
In the event that an existing private well fails, according to Connecticut General Statutes 19a-36(d)
"The local director of health may authorize the use of an existing private well, consistent with all
applicable sections of the regulations of Connecticut state agencies, the installation of a replacement
well at a single-family residential premises on property whose boundary is located within two hundred
feet of an approved community water supply system, measured along a street, alley or easement, where
(1) a premises that is not connected to the public water supply may replace a well used for domestic
purposes if water quality testing is performed at the time of the installation, and for at least every ten
years thereafter, or for such time as requested by the local director of health, that demonstrates that the
replacement well meets the water quality standards for private wells established in the Public Health
Code, and provided there is no service to the premises by a public water supply."
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or need any additional information at 860-
