Chester's Mix of Old and New Wells
Chester sits where the Highlands ridges flatten out toward the valley. That shows in the wells. Some homes on the hillsides have deep bedrock wells, while others closer to the valley floor deal more with hard water, iron staining and sediment. Sugar Loaf's older houses and shops sometimes have wells, pumps and tanks that have been patched over the decades, and those systems benefit from a full look rather than one more quick fix.
Newer developments in the town often have more modern equipment, but builder-grade pressure tanks and switches wear out too. A tank that's small for the house is a common reason pumps here cycle more than they should.

Questions from Chester
Does the Village of Chester have public water?
Much of the village is served by public water, but many homes in the surrounding Town of Chester and Sugar Loaf rely on private wells. If you're not sure, your tax bill or town water department can tell you.
Can you help with orange stains in Chester?
Orange or brown staining usually means iron. A lab test shows the level, and a local pro can recommend a filter sized to it.
