Dear Mr. Steffen: OBSEFiVAT:ONS ARE FOR INFO, y.A-tior AL pu ),:; r'r A water sample was collected on July 15, 1986 from the pitcher pump discharge at the above-referenced location, examined by the State Laboratory of Hygiene, and found to be bacterio- logically safe due to the fact that no bacteria of the coliform group were found in the sample portions examined. The private water supply consists of a well which is located west of the house . The well does not appear to meet the criteria of Wisconsin Administrative Code chNR112 in terms of being a potable source of water. Water from the well is not currently being used for drinking by the occupants of the dwelling. I would recommend that the owner contact Patrick McCutcheon at the Southern District office of the Department of Natural Resources , phone #275-3299, for an inspection. Mr. McCutcheon would explain the requirements for bringing the well into compliance with the well code . There is no information in our file regarding the exact age, size, construction or location of the components of the private sewage system. The septic tank and seepage pit portion of the system were found off the northwest side of the house . The septic tank does not have an approved manhole or manhole cover. At the exact time of my inspection, there were several boards over the manhole opening to the septic tank. This is a potentially hazardous situation. Evidence in the area of this premises would indicate that there is creviced bedrock within one to three feet of the ground surface. Current State Statutes define any private sewage system as failing if the bottom of the soil absorption area (e.g . , seepage pit) is within three feet of bedrock.
