After the recent flooding, local private well owners might be noticing impacts to their well.
Did You Know: If you live in an area that was recently or is currently flooded, your private well may be in danger of contamination. Your well can be contaminated even if it has not been submerged by floodwaters. Older wells, wells that are less than 50 feet deep, and those located close to surface waters can become contaminated from underground water.
