If you’re curious about well water systems, here’s a brief overview, brought to you by the experienced professionals at Luisier Drilling:

• Wells Are Popular: Throughout the United States, more than 15 million households have their own private well for drinking water. Considering that Luisier Drilling develops about 600 new wells every year, this figure doesn't come as a surprise!
• Well Water Comes From Rain: Well water comes from rainwater that has been absorbed far below the ground into the area just above a dense layer of rock. Well water is actually ground water that collects into a reservoir called an aquifer.
• Well Water Is Safe: Generally, well water is extremely safe. However, it can become polluted due to environmental factors, such as fertilizers, pesticides, landfills, and overflowing septic tanks. Because of this, homeowners have to be vigilant about system maintenance. The type of system you have will determine your maintenance schedule—speak with one of the professionals from Luisier Drilling to come up with a plan.
• You Need To Inspect Wells For Quality: Unlike municipal water systems, a private well is not subject to regulations from the Environmental Protection Agency. Because of this, scheduling a routine well inspection for residential water systems is an absolute necessity.
• There Are Different Types Of Wells: There are three types of water wells: dug, driven, and drilled. Well drilling provides the deepest hole, with a 100- to 400-foot depth and the lowest risk of contamination.
