If you were planning to purchase a house with a well and septic system, what would you look for in regards to water availability, water quality, and sinkhole risk?
How would you determine where to locate your well relative to the location of your septic system?
What will be an ideal response?
I would want to know more about the aquifer that the houses well was drilled into. How much water does it hold? Is it a good enough aquifer for my needs? What is the chemical composition of the water, hard vs. soft, polluted vs. unpolluted? What are the potential sources of pollution in the area? Are there any sinkholes or caves in the region? If so, is there a risk that the house could be over an underground cavern?
