Boxford systems & permits
Boxford Board of Health Chapter 202: "All new and replacement wells to be used as a source of potable water shall be bedrock, drilled wells. Dug wells shall not be [used as] new or replacement wells for potable water," and every well must be pump tested (bailing method accepted) for at least four hours by the well contractor, with results submitted on a Board form and kept as public record.
Before a disposal works construction permit is issued for a new well, Boxford requires a chemical analysis including, at minimum, pH, specific conductance, hardness, iron, manganese, sodium, nitrate nitrogen and arsenic. Before occupancy the Board also requires a bacterial and arsenic report plus a test for organic compounds (e.g. EPA Method 524.2) taken from the kitchen tap once the house's distribution system is running.
If the analysis does not meet the standards in 310 CMR 22.00, the Boxford Board of Health may recommend that a specific water treatment system be installed as part of the water system, and a second chemical analysis is required after that system is installed.
Boxford Board of Health well setbacks (Chapters 202 and 203): 50 feet to any lot line or street, 50 feet to any septic tank, 100 feet to any privy, cesspool or leaching facility, 150 feet to a leaching facility where the percolation rate is less than five minutes per inch, 100 feet from any existing manure storage or handling area, and no less than 100 feet between two operational wells.
