Private Water Wells, Rural Water Wells, Springs

This is a reference library that has been compiled on a number of topics ranging from water quality, household drinking water, water treatment, evapotranspiration, groundwater, lake management, mold, private well water quality, septic systems, radon, and wellhead protection.

Unlike public drinking water systems serving many people, private water wells owners do not have experts regularly checking the water’s source and its quality before it is sent to the tap. These households must take special precautions to ensure the protection and maintenance of their drinking water supplies.  Private well owners need to get and document information on the nature and quality of their drinking water and get the drinking water tested.
