Most well water is of good quality. The filtering process in the soil and the long travel time underground helps to remove any contaminants. Professionals check most town and community water supply systems on a regular basis. It is the responsibility of homeowners to keep their self-supplied well water free from health risk. Possible pollution from agriculture, industry, transportation - even home sources - can pose threats to our ground water quality. Incorrect disposal of common household chemicals, excessive use of lawn chemicals, faulty septic tank, or an accidental spill can wreak havoc with drinking water safety.

Following is information on how to protect and, if need be, correct the water quality in your area. For more information, contact your local Health Department.
