Even if municipal services are available, installing a residential water well is still worth considering. You won’t be subjected to service disruptions that could occur when sourcing city water, ensuring your family always has a reliable supply. If you’re on the fence about private water well installation, below are additional reasons to take the leap. 

3 Benefits Residential Water Wells Provide

1. Lower Utility Costs

On average, homeowners spend about $400 a month on utilities, with nearly $80 going towards water bills. Installing a residential water well will cut down on expenses, as water that is privately sourced is free. The cost of equipment, installation, and ongoing maintenance is recouped by eliminating monthly water bills.  

2. Keep the Family Safe

It is the responsibility of residential water well owners to ensure the liquid is safe for consumption. This is done through annual testing, where a sample is sent to a lab to find biological and chemical contaminants. You can take steps to purify the supply if needed.

When using city services, breaks in water lines and letting the liquid flow through old, deteriorating lead pipes increase the risk of contamination. The water is also disinfected using chlorine and other chemicals that could affect the taste and your health.

3. Increase Property Value

If you ever decide to sell, having a residential water well on the property will make your home more valuable. Because water bills are eliminated, the home will be more appealing to house hunters. You can raise the asking price as a result.
