Well and septic inspection in New Richmond: what matters here

Large lots, wells, old septic systems and river proximity: in New Richmond, below-ground checks focus first on water and wastewater.

The distance between the well and the septic system matters: a system too close to a well can contaminate the water. The inspector notes where each is located, which helps interpret an unfavourable water analysis.

On New Richmond's large lots, the inspector locates the well and septic system, often old, and looks at the ground. Near the rivers, they also note drainage.
