Dear Jeff;
Here are the results I took ofyour well on 5113/99.. When I took the sample I noted
that you have a shallow well suction pump in your basement so I surmised that yo�
have a dug well as a source of water for your house/business. These type of pumps,
can only draw suction from a shallow 25 foot or less deep well because of standard
atmospheric pressure, vacuum characteristics, etc.
I had concerns that your bacteriologic testa would come back positive as dug wells
are notorious for poor bacteriological water quality. I couldn't locate your well but I
assume its over somewhere in the wetlands area bordering your property.
Mirabile dicta! Wonders of wonders your well water is fine. All parameters are well
within accepted standards and parameters and is quite potable for plants and
people too! You will note that the water is quite mineralized with a high hardness of
170ppm. I think this explains the excellent bacterial results. While the well itself
may be only 20-25 feet deep, it is sitting on top of a deeper artesian aquifer and its
water is flowing up from a bedrock aquifer and out of your well. Shallow
overburden (dug) wells are usually very soft with Iittle or no hardness.
Keep these results with your house documents and if you have any questions give ;
me a call at 509-7325. I will also copy the town, Bob Deptula, so he can have this
data for his tiles.
Sincerely,
