| The source of the Goldenbrook water supply is three simultaneously operating point wells. The Goldenbrook wells and pump house are located off Sharon Road in Windham, NH. Well #1 in located 40 feet northeast of the pump house. Well # 2 is located 79 feet northeast of pump house. Well # 3 and 4 are located 53 feet northeast of pump house. Chlorine is added for disinfection, Phosphate is added for corrosion control and iron and manganese sequestration, and potassium carbonate is added for pH adjustment and corrosion control. | |||||||||||

| Radon is a radioactive gas that you can't see, taste or smell. It can move up through the ground and into a home through cracks and holes in the foundation. Radon can also get into indoor air when released from tap water from showering, washing dishes, and other household activities. It is a known human carcinogen. Breathing radon can lead to lung cancer. Drinking water containing radon may cause an increased risk of stomach cancer. Presently EPA is reviewing a standard for radon in water. | |||||||||||
