A hill town on septic and wells

State data lists Mont Vernon’s sanitation as private septic and its water supply as private wells, with no municipal wastewater treatment plant. The town’s own master plan describes the same picture: drinking water comes from individual drilled wells, individual dug wells, and a handful of community wells, and Mont Vernon’s public water supply wells serve places like the village school and Town Hall rather than a town-wide system.

That puts the septic system and the well on the same lot, often not far apart, and the town’s own well-water page points out that bacteria in a well can come from a malfunctioning septic tank. The town also reminds homeowners that NHDES recommends pumping a tank about once every three years. If a system is slow or backing up, it is worth sorting out before it becomes a leach field problem.

Mont Vernon is hilly. Route 13 runs north and south through the middle of town between Milford and New Boston, and the highest point in town, about 1,015 feet, is near Storey Hill on the northern border. Purgatory Brook forms most of the western edge of town, and Hartshorn Brook and Beaver Brook drain much of the rest. Slope, drainage, and ledge change from one lot to the next, and the design has to reflect that. We install the system as designed; a permitted designer and NHDES handle the plan and the state approval.

Wooded lots and access

Many Mont Vernon lots are wooded, and access can mean a long driveway or limited room to stage equipment. We plan the excavation for a septic job around that and size the equipment to the site.

New Boston is a short drive up Route 13, so a site visit is usually easy to schedule.
