How to care for you private well
The State Does Not Regulate Private Well Testing:
Once your well water system is installed, you are the owner of that system. As such, the state does not test your private well, so it is important that you know how to maintain and test your groundwater.
What should you do if you find contaminants in your groundwater?
There are many human sources of contaminants that may find their way into your groundwater supply, even if they are far away from your property!
There are also naturally occurring contaminants from the soil, rocks, or body of water used for drinking. These vary heavily depending on your property and location. Despite them being naturally occurring, they may still cause harm.
With regular maintenance and testing you may find contaminants in your well, but there are filters to solve most contamination problems. To learn more you can visit this resources below
