1. Check Bacteria Levels
It’s crucial to do an annual well maintenance check to ensure the water you drink is safe. At Ackerson Pump Company, we conduct comprehensive well inspections, including a bacterial test to detect any potential health hazards. We recommend this check anytime there’s a change in taste, odor, or appearance of your water, or if your water supply system has been serviced.
2. Store Chemicals Away From Your Well
Keeping hazardous chemicals like paint, fertilizer, and motor oil away from your well is paramount to prevent contamination. We know it’s not always easy, but ensuring these chemicals are stored properly and as far away from your well as possible is a step in the right direction. Additionally, don’t treat the ground around your well with pesticides or fertilizers, which can seep into your water supply.
3. Maintain Well Separation
Proper well separation is vital for maintaining the quality of your water. This means maintaining a safe distance between your well and buildings, waste systems, or chemical storage facilities. Our professional team at Ackerson Pump Company is well-versed in the rules and regulations surrounding well separation and can guide you on the best practices to adhere to.
