If your New Jersey home utilizes well water, the
National Ground Water Association recommends that you get a periodic
professional well inspection and cleaning. You want to make sure you are drinking clean water that doesn’t have a funny aftertaste, contain bacteria, or contain unwanted debris. Plus, a clean well operates more effectively and efficiently.
How do you know if your well needs cleaning?
The National Ground Water Association gives Sussex County homeowners the following hints that a residential well may need cleaning:
- Water that is “cloudy or has suspended matter in it.”
- Your well’s capacity has decreased.
- You notice an “odor or taste problem” with your water.
- Your well water has tested “positive for coliform and/or overall biological activity.
