APPENDIX E
SAMPLE FORM LETTER TO ENCOURAGE PRIVATE WELL MONITORING
Dear Private Well Owner:
Although you may not perceive any problems with the water from your well, it would
be prudent to have your drinking water tested by a certified laboratory. While your water
is likely to be of acceptable quality, there is a possibility that it contains contaminants
undetectable be sight, taste, or smell, and you will benefit greatly from knowing the precise
quality of your well water.
If contamination is found in your water, contact the Board of Health. Steps can then
be taken to determing the source and extent of contamination and whether your family's
health is at risk. Even if your well water is found to be free of contaminants, it is to your
advantage to have a basis for comparison in the event that contamination occurs in the
future. The list below will help you determine which contaminants you should have your
well water tested for at one of the certified laboratories noted on the attached list.
Wells should be tested
annually for:
Chloride
Copper
Corrosivity
Foaming Agents
Hardness (Calcium Carbonate)
"ydrogen Sulfide
iron
Manganese
Sulfate
Total Dissolved Solids
Zinc
pH
Sodium
Contaminant levels
should be
below:
250
mg/l
1
mg/I
noncorrosive
0.5
mg/l
100
mg/l
0.5
mg/I
0.3
mg/I
0.05
mg/I
250
mg/1
500
mg/l
5
mg/l
Because:
water exceeding these standards
is aethetically displeasing but
does not pose a health risk.
6.5 - 8.5 acidic water (pH less than 5.0) may
have the potential to dissolve metals
from piping
20 mg/l consumption of water above this
level may have adverse effects on
those individuals on sodium restricted
diets
Coliform 0 per 100 milliliters water containing coliform bacteria
may contain pathogenic (disease
causing) bacteria; the presence of
coliform indicates contamination
by septic waste
Nitrates 10 mg1I infants consuming water containing
more than 10 mg/I nitrates risk
developing methemoglobinemia
64
If you answer yes to any of the following questions, your well water may be at risk of
chemical contamination, and you should, have a volatile organic compound (VOC) scan
performed:
Do any of the following land uses exist in your vicinity?
- industries
- gas stations
- auto repair shops
- landfills
- dry cleaners
Do you or any of your neighbors
- use a chemical septic tank cleaner?
- dispose of household cleaners or chemicals into your septic system?
- have an automobile which leaks gasoline, oil, or other fluids onto the ground?
- have an underground petroleum storage tank?
The Environmental Protection Agency has set maximum safe levels for some VOCs that
may be found in drinking water as listed below:
benzene
5
parts per billion (ppb)
carbon tetrachloride
5
ppb
1,2-dichloroethane
5
ppb
1,1-dichloroethylene
7
ppb
p-dichloroethylene
75
ppb
1,1,1 -trichloroethane
200
ppb
trichloroethylene
5
ppb
vinyl chloride
2
ppb
If you or your neighbors use any insecticides, herbicides or similar compounds, including
weedkillers and lawn care chemicals, you should have your well tested for the presence
of pesticides. DEQE guideline levels for some pesticides that may be found in drinking,
water in Massachusetts are listed below:
Alachlor
0.3
ppb
Aldicarb
10.0
ppb
Carbofuran
10.0
ppb
1,2-dichloropropane
1.0
ppb
1,3-dichloropropene
1.0
ppb
Dinoseb
5.0
ppb
Ethylene dibromide (EDB)
0.10 ppb
Oxamyl
50.0
ppb
Some homes may be at risk of radionuclide contamination. If you think you may have this
type of contamination, you should have your well tested; maximum safe levels are as follows:
Gross alpha activity 15 picocuries per liter (pCi/1)
Radium 5 pCi/I
Radon 10,000 pCi/l
Uranium 10 pCi/l
Finally, please be sure that the lab performing your water analysis has been certified
by the state. A number of companies currently offer water quality analyses free of charge
in attempts to attract prospective buyers of home water treatment units. To our knowledge,
none of these labs are certified by the state to perform water quality analyses. Don't invest
in a home treatment system unless you are sure that you need it. Many contamination
problems can be resolved without treatment, and for some contaminants, home treatment
units are not an appropriate response.
If you have any questions about private well water quality and testing, please contact
the Board of Health.
TURBIDITY --Turbidity in water is caused by suspended matter and is expressed in terms of an arbitrary scale of units; the higher the
number, the greater the concentration of turbidity. The turbidity after filtering is an indication of the ability of a filtering medium to
remove the suspended matter. USPHS recommended limit is 5 units.
COLOR -Color is usually caused by dissolved organic matter (tannins, lignins) but can be due to iron oxide or iron tannate particles
which are extremely small (colloidal). This colloidal material appears to be in solution and cannot be filtered without coagulation. Color is
expressed also in terms of an arbitrary scale of units. USPHS recommended limit is 15 units.
ODOR --The description of odor shown by this analysis is not necessarily that which characterized the water at the time the same was
taken. Substances which are responsible for taste and odor are frequently lost or altered while the sample is in transit to the Laboratory.
If taste or odor is a problem, it should be described when submitting sample.
TOTAL HARDNESS --This is the sum of the Calcium and Magnesium content of the water. Hardness forms a curd with soaps and
detergents resulting in their wastage and diminishing their effectiveness for laundering. The curd adheres to cloth fibers, dishware, and
glassware producing a dull film which is capable of harboring bacteria and reducing fabric life. When hard water is heated or evaporated,
a heat insulating scale is formed in water heaters, boilers, air conditioning and cooling systems resulting in wastage of fuel or loss in
efficiency.
COM13ENSATED HARDNESS-- A calculated value used to predict the gallon capacity of certain softeners.
pH --A method of expressing the acid streng-th in the water over a scale from 0 to 14. The lower the pH value; the g-reater the acid
content. The acid strength of pure water is 7.0 on this scale.
IRON --Iron will stain laundered fabrics, dishware, glassware, and plumbing fixtures. Iron unites with tannins in coffee, tea and some
alcoholic beverages producing an objectionable appearance and flavor. USPHS recommended limit is 0.3 mg/l.
SILICA --The substance is of little importance to the household water user. It is important in predicting the life of certain water treating
minerals.
NITRATES --Bacterial contamination may exist in waters containing nitrate. Waters containing nitrate should be examined
bacteriologically. Local Boards of Health being tax supported provide this service at a lower cost than we can. USPHS recommended
limit is 4� mg/l.
MANGANESE --Manganese is similar to iron in its tendency to stain. This particulaly true in laundering when chlorine bleaches are
used. USPHS recommended limit is 0.05 mg/l.
TDS--An abbreviation for Total Dissolved Solids, which is the sum of all ionized minerials in the water. The TDS expressed in the
analysis is an estimate based upon the electrical conductivity of the water sample. USPHS recommended limitis 500 mg/l.
CATIONS AND ANIONS --Calcium and magnesium are hardness elements as described above. Sodium and potassium are not hardness
elements but can impart tastes to waters above 250 mg/l. No improvement in water flavor can be expected by softnening if the taste is
due to sodium and potassium.
Hydroxide, carbonate and bicarbonate are the three forms of alkalinity usually present in water. Sulfates are commonly found in water
supplies and could have a laxative effect in concentrations above 250 mg/l. Chlorides are commonly found in water but are not usually
objectionable from a taste standpoint below 250 mg/l. The objection to nitrates are -noted above.
The anions are virtually unaffected by most water treatment processes. The calcium and magnesium cations are exchanged for sodium in
the water softening process but the total cations remain unchanged.
Conductivity refers to the ability of a water to conduct electricity and is related to the total ionic content of the water.
UNITS--gpg is an abbreviation for grains per gallon. The units of ' gpg expressed by this anlysis are in terms of calcium carbonate which
is a standard method for reporting constituents on a chemical.ly equivalent basis.
mg/l, an abbreviation for milligrams per liter, is used interchangeably with parts per million (ppm) for solutions less 'Concentrated than
7000 mg/l.
This analysis will not determine whether a water is safe for human consumption. A separate bacteriological examination is required for
this.

RE: ALAN HIMMER - INNIS STREET
Dear Mr. Scanlon:
(617) 685-4555
Please be advised that I reviewed your letter of October
16, 1984 together with its enclosures regarding your concern
that the above cited premises do not provide adequate sewerage
disposal and of the potential contamination of a well located
on the premises. I further reviewed Massachusetts General Laws
Chapter ill, Section 122 thru 127C together with the
Massachuestts Practice Series. The Board of Health has
authority in at least three areas to enjoin the use and
occupation of the premises including:
1. MGLA Chapter 111, Section 122 by declaring the
premises to be a nusiance and a source of filth.
2. MGLA Chapter 122A by declaring the water supply
unsafe or inadequate.
3. MGLA Chapter 127 A as a violation of the state
sanitary code and that the premises constitute a
dwelling unfit for human habitation.
If the premises are not presently occupied, the Board of
Health may send notice to the owner of such violations and
preclude their use and occupation without the written
permission of the Board of Health. In the event that the
premises do become occupied in violation of your orders, there
are provisions in the General Laws to remove the inhabitants
including the use of force if necessary.
While the Board is not in a position to prohibit all
future use of the premises you have adequate jurisdiction to
compel the contractor to provide a safe water supply and
sanitary sewerage disposal. I advise that the Board meet with
the contractor at your meeting of November 5, 1984 and, if he
fails to comply with the recommendations of the Board, to
proceed with the Board of Selectmen in authorizing litigation
to effect the orders of the Board.

The Board of Appeals held a regular meeting on Tuesday evening, August
13, 1996 upon the application of Scott and Christine Dempsey requesting
a VARIANCE from the requirement of Section 7 Paragraph 3 and Table 2 of
the Zoning Bylaws so as to permit relAef of the lot dimension area
requirement setback of 25000' to 60215 relief requested 18,975, Street
frontage required setback of 125' to 601 relief requested 65'and front
setback requirement of 30' to 16' relief i�equested 14'. and a SPECIAL
PERMIT under Section 9 Paragraph 9.1 of the Zoning Bylaws in order to
alter and extent a second level to a non -conforming legally existing
structure located at 30 Innis St. The following members were present and
voting: William Sullivan, Walter Soule, John Pallone, Scott Karpinski,
and Joseph Faris.
The hearing was advertised in the Lawrence Eagle Tribune on 7.27.96 and
8/1/96 and all abutter were notified by regular mail.
Upon a motion by Walter Soule and seconded by John Pallone, the Board
voted unanimously to Grant the Variance and Special Permit as requested
The petitioner has satisfied the provisions of Section 10, Paragraph
10.4 of the Zoning Bylaw and that the granting of these variances will
not adversely affect the neighborhood or derogate from the
intent and purpose of the Zoning By law.
The Board finds that the applicant has satisfied the provisions of
Section 9, paragraph. 9.1 of the Zoning Bylaw and that such change,
extension or alteration shall not be substantially more detrimental than
the existing non -conforming structure to the neighborhood.
Note: The granting of the Variance and/or Special Permit as requested by
the applicant does not necessarily ensure the granting of a Building
permit as the applicant must abide by all applicable local, state and
federal building codes and regulations, prior to the issuance of a
building permit as required by the Building Commissioner.

Dear Mike;
Attached are two alternative septic system designs for a system repair
on Innis Street, North Andover.
I have also attached copies of the "Jet Industrial Home Sewage
Treatment" brochure. Because this repair is in an area with poor soil
and high ground water we have included the sewage treatment as part of
the design. The addition of sewage treatment to the septic system
design provides greater protection for the public health.
I would like to meet with you at your earliest convience to dicuss the
designs and the treatment plant in more detail.

WHAT IS A JET PLANT?
The Jet pollution control plant for indi-
vidual homes is a giant step into a clean
new world — out of the old-fashioned
world of the septic tank.
The Jet plant is designed to serve homes
beyond city sewers . . . anywhere. In just
24 hours it reduces all household waste-
water to a clear odorless liquid.
Developed as a replacement for the in-
efficient septic tank, the Jet treatment
plant uses the same treatment process
most used by large central sewage treat-
ment plants. Jet simply adapts the proc-
ess to a small compact underground in-
stallation sized to serve a single home.
Local health departments often insist
on home aeration plants instead of sep-
tic tanks, especially where the water
table is high or the soil has poor
percolation.
1110 ) -11
The Jet plant is self-contained, auto-
matic, odorless. Designed for modern
living, it easily handles wastewater from
multiple -bath homes with all modern
appliances—automatic laundries, dish-
washers, garbage grinders. And yet it
is a practical plant. It does not cost
a fortune to buy, operate, or main-
tain. Most important, it requires little
maintenance.

HOW DOES IT WORK? 6.,j
The treatment process — called ex-
tended aeration — is a speeded -up ver-
sion of what happens in nature when a
river tumbles through rapids and over
waterfalls, purifying itself by capturing
oxygen. The Jet plant brings oxygen to
the wastewater by injecting streams of
air into its underground treatment tank
and bubbling this air through thewaste-
water. The air is injected by an electri-
cally operated Jet aerator. A control
panel conveniently installed in the
home's basement or garage automatic-
ally regulates operation of the aerator,
which runs only part of the day.
The clear liquid discharged by a Jet
plant is odorless and colorless. Accord-
ing to some scientific opinion, the high
dissolved oxygen content in an aeration
plant's oxygen -laden effluent actually
contributes to the betterment of nearby
streams, helping support aquatic life.*
L C&ontoeced Treatmeid 011mot Ono Mholasatepre.
The Jet plant is constructed
permanent concrete. Its de
porates three separate
compartments, each
performing a specific
function in the total
purification process.
G The Primary Treat-
ment compartment
receives the household
sewage and holds it long
enough to allow solid matt(
to the sludge layer at the tan
Organic solids are here broken down
physically and bio-chernically by anaer-
obic bacteria — those bacteria that live
and work without oxygen. Grit and other
untreatable materials are settled out
and held back. The partially broken
down, finely divided material that is
passed on to the aeration compartment
is much easier to treat than raw sewage.
This, of course, is the reason for Jet's
primary compartment. It's one of the
steps that makes it possible for Jet
plants to reduce incoming sewage to a
clear effluent normally within the short
period of 24 hours.
UP In the Aeration chamber the finely
divided, pre-treated material from the
primary compartment is mixed with
activated sludge and aerated. The Jet
aerator injects large quantities of fresh
air into this compartment to provide
oxygen for the aerobic digestion proc-
ess, and mixes the compartment's
entire contents.
The aerator is mounted in a concrete
housing that rises to ground level to
give it access to fresh outside air. In
injecting air into the liquid, the aerator
breaks up the air into tiny bubbles
so more air comes in contact with
the liquid, thus hastening the aerobic
digestion process. Aerobic bacteria,
which are bacteria that live and work
in the presence of oxygen, then use the
oxygen in solution to completely break
down the sewage and convert it to
odorless liquids and gases.
The Aeration compartment has a 50%
greater capacity than is required in the
National Academy of Sciences National
Research Council Criteria. This extra
capacity gives a Jet plant a safety factor
to handle shock loads from weekend
guests, multiple baths, automatic laun-
dries, and dishwashers.
E) The final phase of the operation
takes place in the Settling/Clarifying
compartment. In this compartment a
tube settler eliminates currents and en-
courages the settling of any remaining
settleable material which is returned,
via the tank's sloping end wall, to the
aeration compartment for further treat-
ment. A non-mechanical surface skim-
mer, operated by hydraulics, skims
floating material from the surface of
the settling compartment and returns
it to the aeration compartment. The
remaining odorless, clarified liquid
flows into the final discharge line
through the baffled outlet.

13 NO ODORS. The most notice-
able benefit of the Jet aeration plant is
that it eliminates the embarrassing, of-
fensive sewage odors that are a problem
with septic tanks.
El OUTSTANDING TEST RE-
SULTS. During a comprehensive 7 -
month testing program conducted by
an internationally recognized flounda-
tion, the Jet plant produced an effluent
with a median 5 -day BOD concentration
of only 19 ppm and suspended solids
concentration of 25 ppm — average
reductions of 89% and 87%.
13 ENVIRONMENTAL PRO-
TECTION. The highly treated effluent
discharged from a Jet plant is normally
colorless and odorless, and meets
standards of larger plants. This is nat-
ural, since -Jet's watertight, self-con-
tained plant treats sewage in the same
manner as a central sewage plant.
Where clay soil, rock, shale, or high
water tables exist, many homes simply
cannot be built without Jet aeration.
Gross pollution of ditches and streams
is eliminated by Jet and, of course, this
protection extends to ground water
supplies . . . especially important to
homeowners with water wells on their
properties.
El EFFLUENT DISPOSAL SIM-
PLIFIED. Effluent disposal in any
area is controlled by the health author-
ities. Many authorities have found the
highly treated Jet effluent eliminates
the need for leaching fields or subsur-
face filters. Most health officials in
areas where subsurface disposal is re-
quired have found Jet's effluent extends
the life of the fields or filters. In a great
many areas, Jet's aerated effluent is
discharged directly to a storm sewer,
flowing stream, or any well-defined line
of drainage.
1:1 LARGE CAPACITY. Total net
holding capacity in a Jet plant's three -
compartmented tank is 1200 gallons.
Primary Treatment compartment holds
475 gallons; Aeration compartment 600
gallons; Settling/ Clarifying compart-
ment 125 gallons.
HANDLES ALL MODERN AP-
PLIANCES. Automatic laundries,
dishwashers, and garbage grinders pre-
sent no problems to a Jet plant because
of its sophisticated treatment process
and its large capacity. Septic tanks can-
not offer this benefit.
0 AUTOMATIC OPERATION.
A control panel automatically cycles the
Jet aerator's operation for proper treat-
ment. The homeowner does not concern
himself with operation.
N BACKED BY A LOCAL JET
DISTRIBUTOR. The local factory -
trained Jet distributor, who installs the
plant, is always available if service is
ever needed. His name and phone num-
ber are clearly displayed on a name-
plate attached to the control panel.
E NO OWNER MAINTENANCE.
Absolutely no periodic maintenance is
required by the homeowner. Other than
perhaps pressing a re -set button on the
c�ntrol panel in the event of an elec-
trical overload, there is nothing for the
owner to do. If ever needed, service will
be taken care of by the local factory -
trained Jet distributor.
M FREQUENTTANK PUMPING
ELIMINATED. in most cases a Jet
plant can go five times as long as a
septic tank — or longer — before it
needs pumping. The Jet plant's primary
chamber is designed to pre -treat or-
ganic material and pass it on for final
treatment, not hold it back as septic
tanks are supposed to do.
E ONLY A SMALL SPACE RE-
QUIRED. Because of Jet's highly
treated effluent (final liquid discharge),
most health authorities either greatly
reduce the requirements for sub -sur-
face filters and leaching devices (com-
monly used with septic tanks) or elim-
Ocrl� 05siefletes the S'emotic Tank.

inate the requirement for these alto-

savings to the home buyer, in both
original cost and maintenance.
M ECONOMICAL TO INSTALL.
Installation cost for a modern Jet aera-
tion plant usually is no more than for the
old-fashioned septic tank. In many in-
stances it is even less.
E3 LOW OPERATING COST. The
Jet aerator's fractional horsepower
motor is automatically cycled to run
only part of each day. A Jet plant nor-
mally costs the homeowner less to oper-
ate than his refrigerator, TV, or most
other major home appliances.
0 OPTIONAL WARNING
BUZZER. The plant's control panel
may be equipped with an optional warn-
ing buzzer which sounds if there is an
electrical overload in the system.
IM OPTIONAL CHLORINATION
AVAILABLE. Where local health reg-
ulations require it, a simple effective
chlorinator can be easily added to the
plant. Non-mechanical, the Jet chlori-
nator works by gravity flow, uses easy -
to -handle disinfectant tablets, requires
little attention other than restocking
with tablets about twice a year.
0 OPTIONAL TERTIARY
TREATMENT FILTER. Practical
tertiary treatment can be provided,
where required, by the optional Jet
upflow filter. The filter is housed in a
separate concrete tank through which
the plant effluent flows. The effluent
receives further biological treatment
from bacterial growth on the filter
medium. In independent tests, the Jet
filter produced effluent averages of 11
ppm BOD and 10 ppm SS — reduc-
tions of more than 94% and 96% re-
spectively! If chlorination is also de-
sired, a Jet chlorinator can be installed
within the filter.

JET'S UNIQUE DESIGN, QUALITY CONSTRUCTION ASSURE MANY LONG
YEARS OF LIFE AND TROUBLE-FREE SERVICE.
The Jet aerator mixes and oxygen-
ates the liquid in the plant's aeration
compartment.
Fresh outside air is drawn into the unit
by the action of aspirator tubes on the
shaft turning in the water. As they ro-
tate they leave a cavity or pocket in the
water into which the air is drawn. This
air travels down through the aerator,
into the hollow shaft, and out the aspi-
rator tubes. The air bubbles are then
reduced in size by the shearing action
of the rapidly turning aspirator tubes.
These tiny bubbles are dispersed radi-
ally. The rapid rotation of the aspirator
induces circulation and mixing through-

Top-of-the-line Floodproof model:
Running seals protect this waterproof
unit from any damage by water backing
up in tank from flash floods or tempo-
ra ry storm sewer overloads. Eight years
of careful research, design, testing, and
field experience went into Jet's develop-
ment of the Floodproof aerator. The
field -proven Floodproof model is a
major step forward in home aeration
plants and the most versatile home
aerator available.
Both models have all these quality features:
*Careful engineering and construc-
tion. Everyone at Jet is proud of turning
out the finest product in the field. This
company pride results in top quality
work . . . consistently superior aerator
engineering and construction.
a Corrosion -proof or protected mate-
rials. Stainless steel or special plastics
are used on all submerged parts. Parts
above water line are either of similar
corrosion -proof materials or are pro-
tected by heavy plating or baked enamel
finishes.
a Corrosion -proof foam restrictor. Pro-
tects unit from the foam created by mix-
ing and aeration. It throws foam to tank
sides and breaks it up, protecting the
aerator.
a Ball-bearing construction. Bearings
are extra large for longer life, pre -lubri-
cated and permanently sealed for life
of the unit . . . no greasing or oiling
ever needed.
*Totally enclosed motor. Especially
designed and produced for Jet by one of
America's largest motor manufacturers.
to Low power requirements. The frac-
tional horsepower motor is automati-
cally cycled at the factory to run only
part of each day. When cycled "on" it
normally uses less electricity than most
other major household appliances.
co "U.L. Approved" cable. Furnished
for each installation by Jet distributor.
a Close-toferance coupling. Automati-
cally centers shaft -to assure smooth
even running characteristics and
long life.
a Strict production tolerances. Aspira-
tor shaft and coupling are produced to
tolerances within 3/10,000".
a Complete testing. Every Jet aerator
is thoroughly tested before it leaves the
factory. All critical parts such as cou-
pling, shaft, bearing bores, and journals
are inspected before assembly. Every
assembled unit is run under actual op-
erating conditions before shipping.
*Completely versatile operation. Al-
though the control panel is pre-set at
factory to cycle the unit for best results
under normal conditions, the setting
can be changed by the distributor to
compensate for unusual situations. If
conditions demand it, the Jet aerator is
so sturdy that it can even be run
continuously without decreasing its
long life.
e Quiet operation. All rotating parts are
precision- balanced. This, together with
the close tolerances that are held, result
in an aerator that is practically noise-
less and vibration -free.
* No adjustment by homeowner. No pe-
riodic adjustment or lubrication by the
homeowner is required.
e Positive air injection. There's no clog-
ging when the unit is cycled off or power
interrupted.
* Jet circuit breaker. Opens the elec-
trical circuit In the event of an overload,
protecting the aerato� from damage.
* Lowest repair rate in industry. Even
the finest mechanical equipment will
some day require repair, but two dec-
ades of experience have shown the fre-
quency of repair for Jet aerators is the
lowest in the industry. When these in-
frequent repairs are needed, the local
Jet distributor is there to handle them
promptly and professionally.
It
out the aeration compartment. As air
is injected into the fluid, turbulence is
increased, and the entire contents of
the compartment are drawn into circu-
lation, broken down, and aerated. Be-
cause the air bubbles are small and
uniformly dispersed, the Jet aerator's
oxygen transfer efficiency is exception-
ally high.

Health authorities want complete de-
pendability in a home aeration plant
and Jet supplies it! Lots of home aera-
tion plants can look good on the draw-
ing board and in the laboratory, but
health authorities need to know that the
plant and the plant backup are com-
pletely dependable in the field — year

ord and policies have convinced health
officials that Jet is a plant they can
really depend on.

e Since 1955.
The carefully
mgineered Jet
plant, self-con-
tained and compact, has been providing
homeowners with dependable sewage
treatment since 1955—a statement
no other home plant manufacturer can

*Consistent, High Quality Effluent.
Tests and field experience have proven
that Jet plants produce a high quality
effluent under a broad range of loadings
and temperatures.
e Comprehensive Owner's Manual.
Even though plant operation is auto-
matic and the homeowner is required
to do nothing about plant maintenance,
he is given an informative owner's man-
ual so he will understand the workings
of his plant, be aware of its guarantees
and warranties, and know the impor-
tance, to himself and the community,
of keeping his plant in top condition.
*Product of Established Company,

This Board has received several
complaints from residents of Innis Street, No.Andover
relating to a house under constru6tion,by Alan Himmer.
A permit to remodel an existing
and old. shack was issued by the building department.
However the old -foundation was removecT--- ______ew and
5 ., a n
larger foundation built and an entirely new building
I
is now under construction.
We have no record of an existing
subsurface disposal system or well. We wrote to the
Building Inspector,and requested that no occupancy
permit be granted until we had a chance to discuss
this with Mr. Himmer and his department. Mr. Himmer
came to bif-k-office and said he would not attend any
meeting. We have since sent him a registered letter
requesting that he appear at our Nov 5,1984 meeting.
We are enclosing herewith co pies
of Title II, Fitness for Human Habitation, our Well
Regulations, and Title V. Septic System Regulations.
Mr. Osgood will discuss this problem with you prior
to our November meeting after you have the chance to
glance through these regulations. '
Very truly,yours,

Re: Well Inspection at 30 Innis Street, North Andover, Massachusetts
Dear Mr.,Zaloga:.
After our inspection of the well at 30 Innis Street, we offer the following
information.
The well is a surface well three feet in diameter and.,i58"'deep from ground
level. The water level was 7'2" from ground level when we arrived. The well
had been chlorinated the day before and needed more pumping to obtain a
mineral and bacteria sample. The well was pumped for 1 hour and 30 minutes to
rid it of chlorine. The pump delivered 6 G.P.M. for the full 90 minutes.
After pumping for 90 minutes the water level was 10'6" from ground level. The
samples were taken at this time and delivered to Bio -Marine Laboratories in
Gloucester for testing. The results of these tests will be mailed to you and the
North Andover Board of Health.
The pumping equipment is a j H.P. Liberty Shallow Well Pump with a Model WX-202
Well-X-Trol (40 gallon) tank. This is a standard system for household needs.
A four hour flow test at 5 G.P.M,. was performed by Coolidge Construction Co.
on August 25, 1993, with a static level of 12'8" at the end.
These figures indicate that this well would meet all flow requirements for domestic
needs that we are aware of.
We trust this information meets with your approval, and if we can be of any
assistance please contact us at (508)887-2320.
Sincerely,
George W. Rollins
