For a long time, many wells were not usable at a reasonable cost, but AWPI’s ozone based well water purification systems have changed that, so I wanted to share some additional resources on well water quality from such sources as the Centers for Disease Control, Environmental Protection Agency and U.S. Geological Survey.
With water prices rapidly rising and no end in site to the price increases, I hope we can all educate ourselves and start utilizing well water as never before. The following links are a great place to start.
CDC overview of setting up Private Ground Water Wells
EPA Overview of Private Drinking Water Wells
Well Water overview from NSF International
“Quality of Water from Domestic Wells in the United States” from the U.S. Geological Survey
Groundwater: Wells overview from the U.S. Geological Survey
Ground Water & Drinking Water FAQ from the EPA
EPA overview of drinking water contaminants
How to troubleshoot well problems from eHow
And be sure to look at our web page on Well Water Quality.
