Default Health Risks from PEX and other Plastic Pipes

A new well? What in another county? That is going to be a long pipe.
If the well water sucks, another well will probably get the same
water.


The well on that property was something like 35 ft deep. The land within
1/4 mile away was a swamp. Speaking with the guys who did the water
tests, there was a large rock formation about 15 feet below the surface,
and the small basement in that house needed TWO sump pumps, bcause the
water table was so high that after every rain, those pumps ran
continuously. It's pretty obvious where that water was coming from
(surface water from the swamp). The wells of neighbors were all around
300 feet deep, far below that rock formation.
