protect your water supply from contamination

You should also take steps to protect your water supply from contamination. The following are a few suggestions:
 
Periodically inspect exposed parts of the well for problems such as a cracked, corroded, or damaged well casing, or broken or missing well cap, and settling and cracking of surface seals.


Slope the area around the well to drain surface runoff away from the well.


Install a well cap or sanitary seal to prevent unauthorized use of, or entry into, the well.


Keep accurate records of all well maintenance.


Hire only certified well drillers and contractors for any new well construction, modification, or abandonment and closure work.


Avoid mixing or using pesticides, fertilizers, herbicides, degreasers, fuels, and other pollutants near the well. Hazardous chemicals also should be kept out of septic systems.


Do not dispose of wastes in dry or abandoned wells.


Do not cut off the well casing below the land surface.


Pump and inspect septic systems as often as recommended by your local health department.
