4-21 Water

What is the method of replenishment of the aquifer?

RESPONSE 4-21:

 

Infiltration from precipitation is the primary method of replenishment or recharge to the aquifer serving the existing PUD wellfield (Well #3A).  Additional recharge may also be provided from groundwater discharges from Individual Sewage Disposal Systems (“ISDSs”) associated with residential, commercial and/or industrial land uses.  Given the distance of the well from the Pascoag River and the Clear River, it is unlikely that any significant recharge is provided from these surface water bodies.
