The shallow well, centrally located on the property, limited available space for a septic system as did a shed, fire pit and field stone covering the remaining area deteriorating and collapsing metal septic tank and the home’s deck made maintaining the existing septic system and pumping the tank difficult. The new owner wanted to maintain use of the existing shallow well as it tested clean of any fecal coliform during the new home inspection and new wells in this area yield poor water quality with high iron and sulfur content. The system had to meet Town of Galway and New York State standards including a minimum separation distance of 45 feet from the existing shallow well to the leachfield.
