How To Care For Your Private Well

Your well can be contaminated by:

• Openings in the well seal
• Improperly installed well casing
• Well casing not deep enough
• Well casing not sealed
• A remote source of contamination not related to well construction

Make sure that:

• Sanitary seal or well cap is securely in place and water-tight
• Cap is at least 12 inches above the ground
• Joints, cracks and connections in the well casing are sealed
• Surface water does not pond near the well
• Well pump and distribution systems are checked regularly
• Changes in the quantity and quality of water are investigated immediately

How Often To Test?

Dug Wells - at least four (4) times per year

Drilled Wells - at least two (2) times per year

Water Quality may fluctuate due to changes in the water table or a change in water usage. If there is a noticeable change in your water quality, a chemical test, as well as a bacteria test, is recommended.
