Drinking Water

water

Fresh, clean water is an increasingly precious resource around the world. In Wisconsin, around one third of the population gets their drinking water from private wells. Private well systems are not regulated like systems that serve the public. Private well owners are responsible for ensuring the safety of their own drinking water. Regular maintenance and sampling of private wells is important for the safety of your drinking water. Generally, we recommend sampling your well for bacteria and nitrates annually.
