Unused, Unsealed Wells May Contaminate Your Drinking Water

SUnused, unsealed wells may act as a conduit and allow surface water runoff, contaminated water, or improperly disposed waste to reach your drinking water supply.

SInspect wells regularly for cracks in the casing.

SMake sure all well covers are securely in place.

SDo not allow surface water runoff to enter the well.

STo protect your drinking water, hire a licensed well contractor to seal all unused, unsealed wells.
