These rules apply to sellers in any transaction for the sale or exchange of real estate that includes a dug, drilled or driven well that supplies ground water for domestic purposes. Properties with springs that are used for domestic purposes are exempt from these rules. The seller is required to have certain tests done on the well water and send the results to the Authority. Failure of seller to test will not interfere with the sale of the property. The Authority may require tests for other contaminants under certain conditions.
