Many homeowners choose to install a well and water pump on their property to provide a private water supply for their family. Having your own source of this life-giving element saves you money on bills in the long term, brings a large return on investment, and even gives you independence from the city’s water line. Here are some of the perks of drinking water from a private well.

3 Positives of Drinking Well Water

1. Health

Municipal water runs through thousands of miles of piping before reaching your home, and may collect sediments along the way. When you drink water from your own well, you know the liquid you’re consuming has no contaminants or superfluous chemicals, such as chlorine or fluoride. Staying hydrated brings benefits to your heart, skin, muscles, and brain, so drinking clean water can help you stay at optimal health.

2. Savings

After the initial investment of well drilling and water pump installation, you earn money back in the long run by saving on utility bills, since you’ll have your own water source. Having a well and independent water source in your property can also increase your property value, earning you a profit if you decide to sell your home.

3. Self-Sufficiency

When you rely on municipal water, any damage or service interruption the area experiences affects your life. If the city’s systems rupture, for example, you might have to wait hours or days before you can use your water again. With a well and water pump on your property, however, you get the peace of mind that you and your family have a reliable water supply regardless of any city emergency.
