About Private Well Water
Water quality problems are sometimes evident in your water’s smell, taste, and appearance. However, many toxins are undetectable by these methods, so regular well water testing is recommended.
For private wells, there are no upkeep requirements if the only consumers are the well owners. However, the requirements in place for municipal wells are recommended to private well owners as an effective way to keep their water safe.
The Recommendations
- All new wells should be tested
- Wells should be tested once a year for bacteria and other pathogens
- Wells should be tested once every three years for toxic chemicals
The well area should be inspected monthly for new sources of contamination as well as general maintenance and upkeep.
If there are any known chemical spills near the well, water should be tested to ensure it is not contaminated.
Potential Nuisance Minerals
Other compounds that can cause issues, but not necessarily health hazards, for private well owners include:
- Calcium and magnesium- will stain white, cause scale buildup
- Iron- will stain fabric red/pink
- Wells should be tested once a year for bacteria and other pathogens
- Manganese- will stain fabric black, black pebble-like sediment may appear in water
- Acidic water- will stain fabric blue-green, can cause pinhole leaks in copper pipes
- Sulfur- will cause water to have a rotten egg odor

at home
My wife and I had Juturna install water filter and RO systems in our home at Lake Oconee. No more scrubbing calcium rings from everything water touched. The RO is fantastic at the sink! Water shouldn’t have a taste or smell and RO doesn’t.
