Fresh water is an increasingly precious resource around the world. In Wisconsin, about 66% of the population drinks water drawn from over 750,000 private wells. Wells are safe, dependable sources of water if sited wisely, built correctly and maintained.
EPA regulations that protect public drinking water systems do not apply to privately owned wells. As a result, owners of private wells are responsible for ensuring that their water is safe from contaminants. Regular maintenance of your well is required to ensure the continued safety of your water and to monitor for the presence of any contaminants.
