Private Wells: Many rural residents rely on private wells and cisterns as their drinking water source. The condition of water wells and safety of its water is the responsibility of the well owner. Unacceptable levels of bacteria, such as E.coli can contaminate a private water supply and put the health of those who use it at risk. Even a very small change in the well's structure, such as crack or a change in the environment such as heavy rain can result in significant changes to water quality. Public Health Services recommends private well and cistern owners do regular bacterial testing of their well and cistern water. For more information on Private Wells, please visit:
