Water wells are one of best ways to provide your household with fresh water, but there are a few specific responsibilities that come along with having one on your property. John D. Hughes Wells & Pumps of Enterprise, AL, has been providing water well service for more than 60 years and works to ensure each of their clients are aware of the basic dos and don’ts of water wells.

Keeping clients informed is an important aspect of water well service. Not only will a well-informed client have the potential to catch issues before they get out of hand, but they’ll be able to enjoy fresh water from their well for many years to come.

Here are several dos and don’ts that are recommended by the water well maintenance team from John D. Hughes Wells & Pumps:

• Do A Visual Inspection: Familiarize yourself with the exterior during the next water well maintenance so you know how to spot potential damage or deterioration.
• Do Have The Water Tested Annually: Make sure your family is getting the best water possible by having John D. Hughes Wells & Pumps’ efficient water well service determine that your well is contaminant-free at least once every year.
• Do Get The Water Checked After Flooding: Any time your property experiences flooding or a heavy rain, John D. Hughes Wells & Pumps highly recommends a water test to discover how much of an effect the storm had on your well.
• Don’t Store Chemicals Or Fertilizer Nearby: Accidents can happen, so it’s best to keep any chemicals, gas or fertilizer far away from your water well to avoid contamination.
• Don’t Forget The Septic System: If you have your septic system checked regularly, you won’t have to worry about it failing and potentially leaking into your water well.
