The soil tests, which are comprised of deep test pits and percolation tests, will be conducted between March 17 and May 30, 2008. Applications should be submitted by April 28, 2008. However, testing in areas where high groundwater can be expected should be completed as soon as possible so that the groundwater levels can be monitored. Investigation of failing septic systems and soil tests necessary for the repair and replacement of existing systems are conducted throughout the year. Similarly, testing for designation of reserve areas in conjunction with proposed additions to houses and construction of accessory structures are conducted during most of the year. Applications are available from the Health Department located on the second floor of the Town Hall. To have an application mailed or faxed, please call 349-8253. Click here for application .
