About one-quarter of Wisconsin’s population drinks water drawn from over 800,000 private wells. Wells are safe, dependable sources of water if sited wisely and built correctly. Unlike public water systems, protection and maintenance of a private well is largely the responsibility of homeowners.
Lead in drinking water can come from community water pipes as well as home plumbing. Learn about how to minimize your exposure and decide if you want to test for lead in your home.
In the dairy state, home and business wells may be located near farms or farm fields. Learn more if you are concerned that manure may affect your well.
The vast majority of Wisconsin's municipal water systems disinfect the water they deliver to consumers, killing viruses and bacteria that can unexpectedly occur in groundwater. Learn if your municipal water supplier disinfects.
