Myth # 1: Wells Are Hard to Maintain

New well owners might worry that wells will be hard to maintain. However, with regular maintenance, wells can stay in good condition for years. The recommended annual inspection will set your mind at ease and can catch problems before they become harder or more expensive to fix. Over the long haul, owning a well can be cheaper than paying for city water, because you’re just paying to keep the well in good shape. 

Myth # 2: Well Water Is Lower Quality than City Water

While well owners are responsible for ensuring their well water is safe from contaminants, with an annual inspection it is easy to keep your well in good working order and the water safe and clean. In fact, many well owners say their well water tastes better than city water. You also have complete control over your own water supply. 

Myth #3: Wells Regularly Dry Up

While wells that are placed near the water table can run dry during periods of extended drought, for most well owners this is not an issue. Well water system professionals can help you verify the depth of your well and deepen it if necessary. Well professionals in your area also will have experience with local drought cycles, and can give you good recommendations for common mitigation techniques if you’re one of the few well owners to face this issue.
