Yes we ran the water and had an inspection and looked at all of the wells documentation. All the paperwork said it was fine. It was not fine and the well does not produce water.

We are looking into the options, but so far we are thinking a rain harvesting system, well manger, and deeper pump.

Yup, exactly this

They have a responsibility to their constituents to pass laws that ensure access to clean safe water

Which I had googled before I bought! Never had a well before and didn’t even know this was a problem.

That’s insane! I really can’t believe the lack of conscience of some people.

Honestly didn’t think about that. Just wanted to let people know especially the ones with small kids. This has been brutal financially and mentally.

That’s an interesting piece of history! I’ll look into it. The problem with the council is that there are no laws around water mitigation or water requirements in our area. There are however laws in the areas around us. The council was approached about this three years ago and they voted it down knowing that housing would be built in areas that had no water.

I didn’t know that was a thing. I’ll look into it and see if it’s possible/ an option.

Nope, everything appeared fine which is why I am making this post. Every piece of paper we got said everything was ok when in fact Brookline is a low yield well area and you may need to install multiple wells. Our neighbor has four! Just don‘t want unsuspecting people to get suckered like we did.

We had an agent who helped us. She hasn’t been to keen on helping us now though :(

The well is 1000 feet. It’s the town councils problem because they were introduced legislation three years ago to require that wells are properly functioning before selling a house. They voted against it and the developers are knowingly selling bum homes and the council will verbally abuse anyone who says otherwise. Guess they are getting some kick backs from the developers. These are $750,000 homes, its not nothing.

Not yet. Nobody seems to know what to do and we are all in dire restraints as water is not something you can live without. Even if we do get an attorney I will be out of pocket a lot of money by the end of it. Everyone is afraid that their property value will drop. Personally I just want the well fixed and sound the alarm. Nobody should have to go through something like this.
