April 24, 2007 - WAPPINGERS FALLS - Three southern Dutchess towns are crafting laws to require well testing.
"This is a health issue," Wappinger Supervisor Joseph Ruggiero said.
"In neighborhoods all around Dutchess County, private wells aren't being tested," he said. "There is no knowledge of the status of those wells."
Each of the three towns is drafting a law mandating testing wells for contamination at the time the home is being sold. The property seller would pay for the test.
A comprehensive well-water test through a certified lab can cost about $500, depending on a number of factors.
