Well Water Contamination Risks

Contamination is a constant threat. You should always make sure that your well water is safe to drink before allowing your family to consume it. Privately owned wells aren’t covered by U.S. Environmental Protection Agency regulations, so they are the owner’s responsibility alone. In order to detect any possible contaminants, watch for unusual odors or discoloration in your well water. Try to find out if there is a history of contaminated water in the area. If there is, your water may require treatment. Without treatment, contaminated water may cause illness in your family.

Common contaminants in your area can include farms that use pesticides or livestock. It can also include improperly disposed oil or chemicals, gasoline, and septic tank spillage. Any kind of factory or facility nearby that could potentially pose a threat to your water should be taken very seriously. Especially if you have infants, young children, elderly, or sick family members who may be more sensitive to contaminated water.

How to Know if Your Well Water is Contaminated

The only sure way to know if your well water is safe to use is to test it. It should be tested once per year or more depending on the conditions of your surrounding area. If there is a history of contamination in your area but your water supply is currently uncontaminated, you should check it more often to ensure safe water. Reasons to get your water tested immediately include many reasons. These reasons include illness in the family, or changes in the color, taste, or smell of the water.
