Living With Your Domestic Well. Virtual Event. 6 – 7 pm. There are possible contaminants in well water that one cannot see, taste, or smell. Municipal water is regulated by the EPA so consumers can be quite confident that the quality of the water coming from their tap is sufficient. However, well water does not face such stringent regulations and contamination testing often only occurs when the well is first installed or in some locations when property ownership changes. It is so important that well water users understand when and how to monitor their water quality and the associated benefits of doing so. Proper maintenance and monitoring of septic systems ensures proper treatment of the effluent and a longer life of the system. Learn steps to protect the health of family members, neighbors and animals, property investment, and the safety of groundwater resources.
