Connecticut Administrative Code › Title 19 - Public Health and Safety › 13-B › Chapter II - ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH › Water Supply Wells and Springs › Section 19-13-B51k - Post-construction

Current through July 10, 2024
(a) On completion of the well, the well
				  contractor shall pump or otherwise flush the well sufficiently to clear the
				  water of cuttings.
(b) The well
				  contractor shall make a yield test to determine the quantity and stability of
				  flow of water from the well. The date of the test and the maximum drop in water
				  level in the well during the test shall also be recorded (drawdown). The rate
				  of test pumping shall equal or exceed the rate of withdrawal required for the
				  particular installation. In the case of nonpublic water supply wells with a
				  required withdrawal rate less than ten gallons per minute, the pumping period
				  during the drilling and clearing may be included in the time of the yield test.
				  The minimum length of such yield test shall be four hours for a well with a
				  required withdrawal rate of less than ten gallons per
				  minute;1 thirty-six hours for a well with the
				  required withdrawl rate of from ten to fifty gallons per minute; and
				  seventy-two hours for a well with a required withdrawal rate of more than fifty
				  gallons per minute. Test pumping shall be continuous at a constant rate for the
				  period required. In the case of a public well, drawdown shall have held
				  essentially stable for the last twelve hours prior to the completion of the
				  test. The well contractor or tester shall record the date of the yield test;
				  the water level in the well shortly before the yield test begins; the length of
				  the pumping period; the constant pumping rate; the water level in the well at
				  reasonable intervals after pumping begins and within five minutes before the
				  pumping ends; and the water level in the well at reasonable intervals
				  thereafter for a sufficient time to allow recovery to the water level prior to
				  the yield test. He shall furnish a copy of such record to the owner.
(c) The pump installer shall disinfect each
				  new well system before use. Disinfection shall be accomplished by treating the
				  water in the well, storage tank and connected piping with a chlorine solution
				  of fifty milligrams per liter (parts per million) strength so as to obtain a
				  residual of ten milligrams per liter (parts per million) of chlorine after
				  three hours detention. The side walls and piping shall be rinsed with the
				  chlorine solution. The chlorinated water shall not be removed from the water
				  system until after a detention period of at least three hours.
