[Durham INC] Private Wells - Is Your Water Safe?

[bonita green]

Most private wells provide a clean, safe supply of water for many people in
North Carolina. But sometimes contaminants can get into your well water and
make you sick. As a private well owner, it is up to you to test your water
<https://epi.dph.ncdhhs.gov/oee/wellwater/faqs.html> to ensure it is safe
to use.

The majority of private drinking water wells in North Carolina are supplied
by groundwater. Our groundwater is typically composed of rain and snowmelt
that seeps into the ground and flows between the soil, clay, and small
cracks in underground rocks before it finally becomes groundwater and
enters the well supply. Because contaminants can also follow this pathway
and influence the quality of the well water, private well
<https://epi.dph.ncdhhs.gov/oee/programs/wellwater.html>owners must take
special precautions to ensure the protection and maintenance of their
drinking water supplies.
