Properly constructed private water well systems require little homeowner maintenance. These simple steps will help protect your system and investment.

1. Always use licensed contractors when a well is constructed, a pump is in stalled or the system is serviced.
2. An annual well maintenance, including a bacterial test is recommended. Any source of drinking water should be checked anytime there is a change in taste, odor or appearance, or anytime the system is serviced.
3. Keep hazardous chemicals, such as paint, fertilizer, pesticides and motor oil far away from your well.
4. Periodically check the well cover, seal or cap on top of the well casing to insure it is in good repair.
5. Always maintain proper separation between your well and buildings, waste systems or chemical storage facilities.
6. Don't allow back-flow. When mixing pesticides, fertilizers or other chemicals, don't put the hose inside the tank or container.
7. When landscaping, keep the top of your well at least one foot above ground. Slope the ground away from your well for proper drainage.
8. Take care in working or mowing around your well. A damaged casing could jeopardize the sanitary protection of your well. DON'T PILE SNOW, LEAVES, OR OTHER MATERIALS AROUND YOUR WELL.
9. Keep your well records in a safe place. These include the construction report and permit, as well as annual water well system maintenance and water testing results.
10. Be aware of changes in your well, the area around your well, or the water it provides.
