Monitoring well—Green circle indicates observation well screened 

 in the upper glacial aquifer; green circle with thick border indicates 

 supply well screened in the upper glacial aquifer; red circle indicates 

 observation well screened in the Magothy aquifer. Upper number 

 is well number assigned by the New York State Department of 

 Environmental Conservation; lower number is water-table altitude in 

 feet, NGVD 29
