I did a small one years ago from Sears assembled from aluminum. Only
check at the time was required distance from property line.

These rules do change with time. With neighbors selling houses I found
that I probably have a couple minor violations. Stupid stuff like
putting AC condensate into the French Drain.

Why would AC condensate into a french drain be a problem, any more
than dumping it on the ground? It's your drain, I would guess (never
heard of a community french drain).


It is collective, bureaucratic thinking that leads to rules like this.

I had a new well dug two years ago and the current rule required the
well head to extend a foot above the ground. My old well was maybe 2
inches. The new rule was to prevent ground storm water from entering
the well. If you saw my yard you would know that is impossible but does
not matter. Rules are rules. I have it covered with a fake rock.

A friend was forced to connect to town water, then cap his well. He
couldn't even use it for irrigation.
