What You Need to Know About Wells: Tips from a Water Surveyor in California

Wells are incredible tools that are capable of delivering a consistent supply of fresh and clean water to households as well as those in commercial or agricultural settings. In areas that don’t have access to municipal water sources, a well is often the only option that businesses and homeowners have when they need a reliable water source.

There are many different kinds of wells that can be used for all sorts of applications, but every well needs to be kept in good condition to ensure that it continues delivering clean and safe water. Whether you have had a well for decades or you are a brand-new well owner—or even if you’re just beginning to seek out a water surveyor in California to dig your well—there are certain things about your well that are important to keep on the forefront of your mind.

Well water quality

Regardless of whether you are a homeowner or business owner, you want to be confident that your water is safe for use and consumption. When you have access to a municipal water supply, you often have access to data and information about the water levels and the purification process is. While you won’t be supplied by a fact sheet from the city about the mineral levels in your water when you own a well, you can (and should) get essential information about your water quality through testing. You can find well testing kits that you can administer on your own, or you could hire a professional company to test your water. Regardless of how you choose to have your well tested, it’s important that you are always mindful of water quality. If you notice any changes in the way your water looks, smells or tastes, you should make sure to have additional testing performed.

Volume of water

If you’ve never had a well before or you aren’t familiar with how wells are designed, you may be concerned that you will eventually run out of water in your well. Thankfully, as long as your well is dug by a professional, you shouldn’t have to worry about this issue. Aquifers where underground water is stored are permeable by water from the surface. This means that the water that is there is added to by precipitation and groundwater, and then filtered by the layers of sediment in the earth. Even though losing all access to water from your professionally dug well is exceedingly unlikely, it’s still important to pay attention to decreased water pressure that could indicate a lower water level.

The most important decision that you will have to make regarding your water well is where you should dig it. Choosing the best location for your well ensures that you will be getting the best quality and volume of water possible.
