  9. never build your outhouse- or put your septic tank above your water supply. > Put giardia filters on your water system. Have your water system checked by the state. or a lab. that is qualified to check for mercury or other contaminates. I live in Alaska and get my water from rain gutters off the roof. I have water filtration systems also. If I had any cause to think there was a prob. I would use "Clorox". NOT THE NEW KIND- The real thing. in my water tank. I used to get my water out of a stream by the house. I used some Hallogen tablets or boild it. Rain water tastes better. and you have no turbitity. Stay well!!!

    Living with a well and a septic system I find this question a good one.
    Don’t put your well and septic tank within 100 yards of each other.
    Use caution when using
    Insecticides
    pesticides
    fertilizer
    oil
    gas
    or anything that will sink into the ground and contaminate the water below.
    Make sure you have proper field drain for septic system.
