✦ Synopsis

The characteristics of the groundwater below an existing septic tile field were studied during the summer of 1973. The concentrations for chemical constituents were found to be much lower in the groundwater compared to the septic tank effluent; however, these were quite high compared to background levels for the groundwater in the area, indicating the pattern of pollution that is taking place.
