Benefits Of Having A Private Water Well

Choosing to take control of your water supply can have long-lasting benefits for you and your family. Having a private well water system offers control that homes with public water do not have. Not all homes can choose between public and private water, as many homes are not offered municipal water. If given a choice, consider the following benefits outlined by our water well company of having a private water well.

Independence

Having an independent water supply from a municipal source can be very rewarding. Public water can be unreliable and inconvenient. If pipes burst or water becomes unsafe, you can be left without water for days or weeks. Your water source is reliable and completely in your control with a private water well system.

Saves Money

After the initial investment to drill a new well and obtain the necessary equipment, private water is completely free. No more monthly water bills! Use as much water as you wish without facing a higher bill. While you may face maintenance costs, you will spend less overall versus paying monthly for municipal water.

Sustainable

Public water treatment facilities use massive amounts of energy to treat and distribute water. These facilities also use harsh chemicals that produce chemical and industrial waste. Compared to public water, private wells do not create harmful waste and can help reduce fossil fuel consumption.

Increases Property Value

The initial investment in a private water well increases your home’s property value. This attractive feature allows you to raise the asking price and increases desirability for resale. This is especially true if the home also serves as an agricultural property or has livestock. In most states, you can also claim the cost of the well on your taxes after the property has been sold or if the property is also used for business purposes.

Control Water Quality

Perhaps the most impactful benefit of having a private water well is the ability to control the quality of your water supply. Public water is treated with harsh chemicals and can easily become contaminated without the public being aware of it immediately. Also, the water pressure is often out of your control. Municipalities often distribute water with too much pressure to reach more homes, this can degrade your plumbing more quickly and threaten burst pipes. A private well provides the homeowner with ultimate control of the taste, color, smell, water pressure, and overall water quality.
