For homeowners with the choice between well installation and municipal water, wells are often the obvious winners. A well features a strategically excavated hole which accesses an aquifer to supply a household with water via a pump. Having your water supply on-site, instead of having it pumped in via city services, has several compelling benefits, including those listed here. 

3 Advantages of Having a Well

1. No Monthly Bills

One of the most noteworthy benefits of well water is that it’s free. Aside from the initial investment of a well installation, you won’t pay anything to have water readily accessible in your home. While this is convenient for having a steady supply of drinking water, it also means that you won’t have to worry about the costs of showers, running appliances like dishwashers and washing machines, and watering your gardens—all of which can add up with municipal water systems.

2. A Reliable Source

With a shorter distance between your water source and your home (as well as less infrastructure), there’s less that can go wrong. When you rely on your municipality to provide water, however, issues that arise elsewhere can affect your access to clean water. For instance, a water main break on the other side of town could wind up contaminating your water.

3. Healthy Drinking Water

Finally, well water is commonly hailed as a healthy choice because it’s filtered naturally by the Earth. Most wells contain mineral-rich water to help promote your health. With municipal water, chemicals such as fluoride and chlorine are incorporated to eliminate any potentially harmful substances. While it often comes down to a matter of personal preference, many individuals prefer additive-free water provided by the Earth’s natural filtration system.
