Box 63 New Castle, CO 81647 Dear Mr. Dawson: In response to your question regarding the 5.38 acre land parcel south of Elk Creek Subdivision, be advised the minimum horizontal distance from any well and an individual sewage disposal system leach field serving a three bedroom single family dwelling is one hundred feet, provided suitable soil is available. As a general policy, this office recommends a distance greater than one hundred feet when a public water supply well is in the proximity of a septic system.
