I have a 40 foot retaining wall behind which the grass is almost always soaked. Turns out there is ALOT of water there. I dug a hole about a foot deep 2 weeks ago, and it's still full of water.
I have decided to pump this water into a tank (slowly overnight using a short well point and pump) then use the water in the tank for irrigation. I do have a septic system, but it about 80 feet away.
Do I need to be concerned about bacteria or phosphates or anything else for that matter if I am just irrigating? Are there other things I should test the water for to be sure it is safe.
I am not worried about irrigating the lawn, but I am concerned about irrigating my vegetable garden with this water.
Thank you!
