Not on town utilities. Waste goes to a septic system on the property — get it inspected and pumped before closing; a failed field is a $30–60k replacement. Water comes from a private well — test yield plus arsenic, uranium, radon and bacteria. Both are normal in these towns, but neither is covered by a standard home inspection.

Wetland map units touching the lot
Connecticut defines an inland wetland by its soil, not by standing water (CGS 22a-38), so poorly drained and alluvial soils put the lot under the town's Inland Wetlands commission. That means a permit — and a setback from the regulated area — for a pool, an addition, a new septic field, sometimes even clearing. It is not a reason to walk away; it is a reason to ask what you would be allowed to build before you offer. Source: USDA SSURGO (demo).
