Some simple well maintenance and record keeping will help protect the quality of your water and your well.
Have a water sample analyzed for bacteriological quality at least once a year. Have a sample checked for chemical quality (such as hardness or specific conductance) every five years. Changes in water quality provide early warning of defective surface casing, seals, or contaminated aquifers. Many local water treatment or conditioning businesses and some local health department offices or independent laboratories will perform these tests for a fee.
Do not store poisons, pesticides, petroleum products, or other hazardous materials in your pump house or near your well. Also, do not use the pump house to shelter animals.
Periodically check the sanitary seal/well cap on top of the casing (well) to ensure it is in good repair.
