Violations:
A summary of the violations found during the inspection are listed below.
Code | Description / Observation / Corrective Action |
316 | Source unprotected and subject to contamination Observation: There does not appear to be a lid on the well, and the well is not fly-tight. Corrective Action: A fly-tight well cover is essential to ensure that groundwater is not contaminated by entry of insects or small rodents. Suggest using fly-screen or foam tape to improve the seal. |
317 | Inadequate or improper construction of water works Observation: Grade is not mounded up to well casing. Corrective Action: It is important to slope impermeable soil (clay-type soil) up to the casing so as to prevent contaminated surface waters from reaching the casing and flowing down the outside of the casing and entering the well. This is a special concern during spring snowmelt, heavy rain, or during a flood threat. |
