Property owners in rural areas use wells for a wide variety of purposes — and while one of the top benefits is clean drinking water, many still use bottled water. New wells can provide clean, refreshing water that is perfectly safe to drink right from your tap. Here are just a few of the reasons why you should consider drinking straight from the tap.

Top 3 Reasons to Drink Tap Water From New Wells

1. Save Money

Purchasing water bottles may not seem like a major expense, but those costs can add up surprisingly quickly. Even when homeowners rely on a municipal water supply, the cost of tap water is a fraction of what it would cost to drink from water bottles. If you use well water, your only expenses will be routine maintenance and cleanliness checks.

2. Help the Environment

New wells help the environment by reducing plastic consumption. Producing plastic bottles releases toxic chemicals and greenhouse gases. Energy is used throughout the process of making, transporting, and selling plastic water bottles. Even with recycling efforts, many bottles end up in landfills or the ocean. When you drink water from the tap, you don’t contribute to any of these harmful effects.

3. Improved Taste

Though tap water in some major cities doesn’t taste great, homeowners who use well water enjoy natural, clean, and fresh-tasting water. Well water is naturally filtered by the soil to ensure a great taste. The flavor can be further enhanced with filters or by adding a few drops of citrus juice — no plastic aftertaste necessary.
