Toad, Tis is right, it is a common problem in NH and not everyone is aware of or tests for it. Our house had it too, and like you we considered not putting in an offer. But I did some research and you need to install a whole house water treatment system. Call Thursty in Wolfeboro or Integrated Water in Moultonboro and have them both come out and give you a quote. The people who built our house installed reverse osmosis in the kitchen and bathroom sinks which takes care of the drinking water. However I found out that you can also get arsenic poisoning thru breathing in steam like in the shower! So now we have two columns that remove the arsenic where the water comes from the well. We have an annual water test and service and all is fine. Good Luck and don't give up hope!
