Have you ever considered installing a water well pump on your property? You may be surprised to know that, according to the Groundwater Foundation, more than 42 million Americans rely on private well water for everything from cooking to business operations. Below are some insights to help decide if making the switch from your municipal water system to a private well is the right choice for you.

What Are the Benefits of Installing a Water Well Pump?

No More Water Bills

One of the best reasons to install a well is for freedom and independence from your local water municipality. Besides the initial investment associated with drilling and installing a well, as well as routine testing and treatment to ensure the water is safe to drink, you’ll no longer have to worry about paying a monthly water bill or usage fee. These savings will add up over the decades-long lifespan of most water well pumps.

Protect the Environment & Your Health

Did you know that public municipalities treat their water with harsh chemicals, such as fluoride and chlorine? Well water, on the other hand, relies on natural filtration through the ground into your aquifer to deliver fresh water without dangerous chemical additives. 

Increase Your Home’s Value

Lastly, installing a private water well and keeping it well-maintained helps drive up the property value of your home. Potential buyers will often see a self-sufficient water supply as an attractive feature. This allows you to ask for more whenever you ultimately decide to put your property on the market, further helping you recoup the costs of your water well initial investment.
