Make Testing Your Well Water a Priority
Heavy rains can contaminate your well
As a
resident of
While
The most
common pollutant to affect wells after flooding is bacteria. Some
types of bacteria are present throughout the environment and occasionally
can cause illness in healthy people. Other types of bacteria, such as
E. coli, are present in human and animal waste and can cause symptoms such
as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and stomach cramps. Heavy rains and flooding
increase the chances of bacteria contamination running off from roadways and
farms and discharges from sewage treatment plants and septic systems.
