Tom Williams called to
say that the wells passed their 72 hour test with no problems. In order to prove that the wells are viable
for a geothermal energy exchange system, we had to pump out of the supply well,
and back into the return well, at 20 gallons per minute for 72 hours. Doesn’t sound like much until you do the math
and realize that’s 86,400 gallons of water.
Also today, the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources Department of
Environmental Conservation Drinking Water and Groundwater Protection Division issued
Permit Number WW-9-1330-1, giving us permission to site our wells, septic
tanks, and leach field where we want them.
Very timely!
