Conduct annual water tests for bacteria, nitrates, pH levels, and other contaminants. This is the cornerstone of well water safety, providing insights into water quality and highlighting any treatment needs.

Ensure your well is constructed to meet local codes and standards, including proper location and distance from potential contaminants. Regular inspections can identify and mitigate risks of contamination.

Maintain a clean environment around your well. Keep hazardous chemicals, animal waste, and other potential sources of contamination away from the well area to prevent seepage into the water supply.

Depending on your water test results, a water treatment system may be necessary to remove specific contaminants. Options range from whole-house systems to point-of-use filters for drinking water.

 Make sure all household members are aware of the practices that contribute to well water safety, such as the importance of not disposing of waste near the well and the significance of regular testing and maintenance.

Maintaining the safety of your well water requires a combination of regular testing, proper well construction and maintenance, sanitary practices, potentially investing in a water treatment system, and household education.
