Private
Well Resources
Approximately 40-45 million Americans rely on private, household wells for drinking water. Contamination
of a private well is not only the concern of the household served
by the well, but also the households using other nearby water supplies
and the aquifer that the water is drawn from. If you have a private
well, it is important to know when to test and how to maintain your
well properly to ensure your family's health.
Below are some resources that can help you know more about your well water and your health.
