Proper well construction and continued maintenance are keys to the safety of your water supply. Your state water-well contractor licensing agency, local health department, or local water system professional can provide information on well construction.

The well should be located so rainwater flows away from it. Rainwater can pick up harmful bacteria and chemicals on the land’s surface. If this water pools near your well, it can seep into it, potentially causing health problems.

 

To keep your well safe, you must be sure possible sources of contamination are not close by. Experts suggest the following distances as a minimum for protection — farther is better (see graphic on the right):

  • Septic Tanks, 50 feet
  • Livestock yards, Silos, Septic Leach Fields, 50 feet
  • Patroleum Tanks, Liquid-Tight Manure Storage and Fertilizer Storage and Handling, 100 feet
  • Manure Stacks, 250 feet

Many homeowners tend to forget the value of good maintenance until problems reach crisis levels. That can be expensive. It’s better to maintain your well, find problems early, and correct them to protect your well’s performance. Keep up-to-date records of well installation and repairs plus pumping and water tests. Such records can help spot changes and possible problems with your water system. If you have problems, ask a local expert to check your well construction and maintenance records. He or she can see if your system is okay or needs work.

Protect your own well area. Be careful about storage and disposal of household and lawn care chemicals and wastes. Good farmers and gardeners minimize the use of fertilizers and pesticides. Take steps to reduce erosion and prevent surface water runoff. Regularly check underground storage tanks that hold home heating oil, diesel, or gasoline. Make sure your well is protected from the wastes of livestock, pets, and wildlife.

 

Drilled Wells

 

Drilled wells penetrate about 100-400 feet into the bedrock. Where

you find bedrock at the surface, it is commonly called ledge. To

serve as a water supply, a drilled well must intersect bedrock

fractures containing ground water.

 

Drilled Well Construction Features

 

•

diameter that extends into the bedrock to prevent shallow

ground water from entering the well. By law, the casing has

to extend at least 18 feet into the ground, with at least five

feet extending into the bedrock. The casing should also extend a foot or two above the ground’s

surface. A sealant, such as cement grout or bentonite clay, should be poured along the outside of

the casing to the top of the well. The well is capped to prevent surface water from entering the

well.

The casing is usually metal or plastic pipe, six inches in

 

•

Wells with a shallow water table may feature a jet pump located inside the home. Pumps require

special wiring and electrical service. Well pumps should be installed and serviced by a qualified

professional registered with your state.

Submersible pumps, located near the bottom of the well, are most commonly used in drilled wells.

 

•

point where the discharge water line leaves the well to enter your home. The device attaches

directly to the casing below the frost line and provides a watertight subsurface connection,

protecting the well from frost and contamination.

Most modern drilled wells incorporate a pitless adapter designed to provide a sanitary seal at the

 

•

10- or 12- inches in diameter, and covered with a concrete well cap either at or below the

ground’s surface. This outmoded type of construction does not provide the same degree of

protection from surface contamination. Also, older wells may not have a pitless adapter to provide

a seal at the point of discharge from the well.

Older drilled wells may lack some of these sanitary features. The well pipe used was often eight-,

 

Hydrofracting A Drilled Well

 

Hydrofracting is a process that applies water or air under pressure into your well to open up existing

fractures near your well and can even create new ones. Often this can increase the yield of your well.

This process can be applied to new wells with insufficient yield and to improve the quantity of older wells.

 

 

 

 

Driven Well Construction Features

 

•

 

 

 

 

Assembled lengths of two inches to three inches diameter metal pipes are driven into the ground.

A screened “well point” located at the end of the pipe helps drive the pipe through the sand and

gravel. The screen allows water to enter the well and filters out sediment.

 

 

•

 

 

 

 

The pump for the well is in one of two places: on top of the well or in the house. An access pit is

usually dug around the well down to the frost line and a water discharge pipe to the house is

joined to the well pipe with a fitting.

 

 

•

 

 

 

 

The well and pit are capped with the same kind of large-diameter concrete tile used for a dug

 

Driven Wells

 

Like dug wells, driven wells pull water from the water-saturated

zone above the bedrock. Driven wells can be deeper than dug

wells. They are typically 30 to 50 feet deep and are usually

located in areas with thick sand and gravel deposits where the

ground water table is within 15 feet of the ground’s surface. In the

proper geologic setting, driven wells can be easy and relatively

inexpensive to install.

Although deeper than dug wells, driven wells are still relatively

shallow and have a moderate-to-high risk of contamination from

nearby land activities.

  

 

 

 

 

Dug Wells

 

Dug wells are holes in the ground dug by shovel or backhoe.

Historically, a dug well was excavated below the groundwater

table until incoming water exceeded the digger’s bailing rate. The

well was then lined (cased) with stones, brick, tile, or other

material to prevent collapse. It was covered with a cap of wood,

stone, or concrete. Since it is so difficult to dig beneath the ground

water table, dug wells are not very deep. Typically, they are only

10 to 30 feet deep. Being so shallow, dug wells have the highest

risk of becoming contaminated. To minimize the likelihood of

contamination, your dug well should have certain features. These

features help to prevent contaminants from traveling along the

outside of the casing or through the casing and into the well.

 

Dug Well Construction Features

 

•

 

 

 

 

The well should be cased with a watertight material (for example, tongue-and-groove precast

concrete) and a cement grout or bentonite clay sealant poured along the outside of the casing to

the top of the well.

 

 

•

 

 

 

 

The well should be covered by a concrete curb and cap that stands about a foot above the

ground.

 

 

•

 

 

 

 

The land surface around the well should be mounded so that surface water runs away from the

well and is not allowed to pond around the outside of the wellhead.

 

 

•

 

 

 

 

Ideally, the pump for your well should be inside your home or in a separate pump house, rather

 

 

older homes, dug before drilling equipment was readily available or when drilling was considered too

expensive. If you have a dug well on your property and are using it for drinking water, check to make sure

it is properly covered and sealed. Another problem relating to the shallowness of a dug well is that it may

go dry during a drought when the ground water table drops.
