hud well/septic requirements
HUD Distance Requirements In order to prevent dangerous groundwater contamination, HUD has issued laws stating the minimum distance a septic system must be from a domestic well. According to HUD, a domestic well must be located a minimum of 100 feet from the septic tank's drain field, where the waste is disposed, and a minimum of 10 feet from any property line. In some cases, state or local regulations have greater distance requirements which must be met.
