If living in a community that is serviced by Community Wells/Water Company, they are required by State Law to do peroidic testing.  The testing done is usually more extensive than is done on a private well when you are purchasing a home.  One of the newest Chemical Elements they are testing for is Uranium.  The EPA maximum allowable Uranium in water is 30ug/L.  If you own a home with a private well you most likely had the well tested when you first bought the home to make sure the water is potable.  Most owners don't ever give it a second thought after that.  Even when you do get a water test done it usually does not include a test for Uranium since it was not known to be a concern in the past.  This is somewhat the same story with Radon, and most of the buyers in the Northeast now have... 08/26/2009

"Good Fences Make Good Neighbors," wrote American poet Robert Frost. Local Zoning Ordinances are different from town to town & your contractor may not always be aware or liable for a non conforming fence installation- so what to do?  If you are considering erecting a fence on your property do your homework. Conforming fences (6 feet & under) do not require a permit in the town of Brookfield. There are other regualtions that govern the installation though- like if you plan on installing a stockade fence where there will be a finished side & then a unfinished side (side that shows the posts) you will be required to face the finished side toward your neighbor or the street- basically you will not be looking at the finished side if you live in Brookfield. Less than common regualtions like t... 05/21/2009
