An inconvenience? You bet. Your well provides water so loyally that you’ve come to take it completely for granted. When, unexpectedly, it stops working, you discover just how much you’ve come to depend on that well.
Think about it: you use water to bath and shower; wash your hands, clothes, car and dishes and to cook. You probably use the water from your well to water the lawn and garden and to give your pets a drink. When the water stops, all those trivial actions take on new importance and you also discover that you can’t flush the toilet.
This isn’t hypothetical. This is precisely what will happen if you fail to properly maintain your well. Maintaining your well includes checking the well pump and motor, well tank, electrical connections and the well cap. It also includes making sure the water is safe to drink. Of course, that’s a whole different crisis.
The good news is that you don’t have to check your well every other week. Rather, an annual well check and maintenance, including chlorination, is all it takes. Follow those simple steps by calling a qualified water and well technician, and you’ll have the confidence of knowing your water is all but sure to keep flowing. Neglect your well and you may have reason to yell, not to mention the additional cost of fixing a well as compared to simple maintenance.
