Determine the proper plan for future development and utilization of the ground-water. 3. Possible pollution of surface-water and ground-water by septic tanks. The study has consisted of a general geologic reconnaissance of the area, obtaining water levels of representative wells, pump testing the aquifer, obtaining information from various sources in the area and the interpretation of the various data.
