Living through a flood can be a scary experience.  You may be concerned with the visible damage and recovery after a flood and may not realize that your well may have been contaminated. 

Warm spring weather means opening the windows, cleaning out the garage and sweeping away the dirt that gathered throughout the winter.

If you receive your water from a private well, you’re ultimately responsible for your family’s water quality. While there are many organic and inorganic contaminants that are both naturally occurring and manmade, most can be easily detected through water analysis, some do not impact water quality, and almost all can be dealt with through some form of water treatment.

As a homeowner, your well is probably the most important asset you own. Your health and your family’s wellbeing rely on your well providing safe, high-quality drinking water. If you own a private well, you are responsible for scheduling periodic water testing and treating for any problems that water testing may uncover.

Despite the fact that much of New Hampshire and Massachusetts has clean, great-tasting water, there are many people who believe that bottled water is better. Some say they prefer the taste, while others say they want to make sure their water is safe.
