Private well owners should consider testing their drinking water after significant rainfall and flooding.

Well owners who experience flooding or observe changes to the taste, color or sediment levels in their water following heavy rainfall should assume their well is contaminated and take the following steps:
• Stop drinking the water and find an alternate source of safe water.
• Disinfect your well. This procedure is best done by a licensed well driller or pump installer with the expertise and equipment.
• Before resuming water consumption, sample the well after pumping and disinfection to ensure its safety.
