    That water looks pretty toxic. Probably alright for bathing and washing, but I wouldn’t take my word for even that much. I’d look to put that plot of land in a larger context. Is it near a mine or an industrial area? Is it a problem that can be fixed by drilling a new, deeper well in a different spot?

    Im not sure I would buy a house with water like that, or at least have some heavy duty filters in place. Lead poisoning is no joke. Be careful

      It’s right on the east coast, in fact. An inlet, anyway.

        Idk. I’m not an expert in anything. I’d just caution that if something seems too good, it probably is. I know what it’s like to get your heart set on something, especially a piece of land you can call home.

            That house says it was built in 1840. I assume the plumbing has been redone with the rest of it.

            I bet the plumbing in your home is the source of lead.

            See what the health department has to say about it. They will know about your neighbors.

                What year?

                You need to do some more tests or pass on the house.
