In our sparsely suburban, quasi rural area of Connecticut for the most part we enjoy well water. While it might be less convenient than the typical city water that is readily piped in to our homes, the taste of the water is so much better, without any hint of chlorine! We do however need to be mindful of potential contaminants that might sneak into our well and that’s why it’s a good idea to test your well water on a regular basis.
During routine home inspections that are done as part of a purchase process, it is not unusual to find some traces of bacteria in a well. This could be the result of something simple such as a loose, cracked or aged cap. Even a small opening might allow contamination. The treatment to eradicate bacterial contamination is easy and effective. Additional, more extensive tests are available for other chemicals and heavy metals. Filters or water softeners might be recommended to correct some of those issues.
