Well water can be safe to drink, but it’s important to have it tested regularly. Municipal water undergoes extensive treatment, while well water typically receives less processing. Testing can identify potential contaminants like bacteria, minerals, or nitrates, allowing you to take necessary steps if needed.
Drilled wells: These are deeper wells created using specialized drilling rigs. They access deeper water sources and typically provide a more consistent water supply.
Dug wells: These are shallower wells constructed by hand or excavation equipment. They rely on the water table and may have lower yields or be susceptible to seasonal water level fluctuations.
The depth of a well depends on various factors like your location, geology, and desired water volume. Generally, drilled wells range from 50 to 500 feet deep. Spring Hill Well Drilling can evaluate your property and recommend an appropriate well depth to meet your water needs.
