Well Treatment & Maintenance

The Well Treatment and Maintenance website provides key recommendations for private well users to help ensure long-term water safety. It encourages well owners to have a schedule for well testing and maintenance and to record test results, system repairs, and any maintenance performed. Regular tracking can help detect gradual changes in water quality and prevent larger issues from going unnoticed. The resource offers guidance for renters who rely on private wells, noting that tenants should ask property owners about the well’s maintenance and testing history. In the event of a flood, the resource advises users to assume the well may be contaminated and to avoid using the water until it has been tested and, if needed, treated.
