A well installation is an effective way to provide your home with a steady source of water. But because it’s not coming from a municipal system, it’s your responsibility as the well owner to ensure your drinking, bathing, and plumbing supply is clean and healthy. Below is a comprehensive overview of how you can protect the quality of your well water.

Conduct Regular Inspections

After a well installation, property owners should conduct routine inspections for any damage that could interfere with their water quality. For instance, cracks or corrosion on components such as the well pump could allow bacteria or contaminants to seep into the well. You should also schedule yearly inspections with a technician so they can evaluate what must be repaired. 

Be Aware of Warning Signs

Learn the signs of contaminated water so you know when to contact a technician. For instance, cloudy or bad-tasting water is a sign that you might need to install a more effective filtration system. After a well installation, conduct routine water well tests so you can determine if there are contaminants and bacteria present.  

Keep Contaminants Away From Well

Keep the area around your well protected. Landscaping and gardening chemicals, such as fertilizers and pesticides, must never be stored or left near the well as they can seep into the groundwater. Schedule routine septic system pumping and inspection services; if your septic system were to overflow, the sewage could also contaminate your well water.
