      I suspect the guy that installed my septic system - who also happened   
   to be the head of our water company at that time - thought he'd negated   
   my use of the well by placing the septic tank too close . We'll see , I   
   picked up a test sample kit to send off to the state health assn this   
   morning . I'm already using the well to water the garden , but I'd like   
   to know if it's safe to drink . I suspect it is , due to the orientation   
   of the strata of the subsurface rock formations . The layers of rock and   
   clay/sand are sloped such that effluent from my drainage field will flow   
   away from the well site . By the time it gets 48 feet down it'll be a   
   long way from my well .
