<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2> It is common to allow
nitrate loading (increases in nitrate from background levels) from drain
fields into well head protection areas. The question then becomes, with
the addition of the nitrate, what else is there? I used to want to test my
former neighborhood's water for caffeine but as a member of the board of
directors on the water company, I felt the fishing expedition was an issue best
avoided. The water supply was legal. All testing including extra
testing was being done to comply with federal laws.</FONT></DIV>

learned that caffeine is not a good tracer.</FONT></DIV>
