Major Signs Your Well Needs Well Repair

In the case of public and municipal water sources, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is charged with regulating the quality of drinking water. The EPA keeps contaminants and pollutants from reaching unsafe levels, leading to possible sickness and poor health.

However, when it comes to private water wells, these water sources are not regulated by the EPA. It is the personal responsibility of the water well owner to test, treat, and maintain their own drinking water.

At North Florida Water Systems Inc, our certified technicians can properly test and treat your residential water well – all at a reasonable price.

Fever

In well water, campylobacter, enterovirus, Hepatitis A, Legionella bacteria, and others can all produce a fever when consumed.

Without proper testing, it can be difficult to accurately pinpoint the exact contaminant or bacteria causing a waterborne illness. A fever could be the result of fertilizers or pesticides that leached into the water, sewer overflows, nearby livestock, or local manufacturing operations. Thus, because these illnesses are so difficult to identify, it is best practice to contact a water well expert to thoroughly test the water.

If you or someone in your family has a fever and you suspect your water supply to be the cause, contact North Florida Water Systems Inc immediately to schedule water treatment.

Shortness Of Breath

Shortness of breath and coughing are symptoms associated with Legionella bacteria. Legionella typically spreads through water systems like showerheads, faucets, hot tubs, and hot water tanks. Legionella in water mists can be inhaled, leading to serious illnesses such as Legionnaires’ disease or Pontiac fever. Legionella infection can also occur when drinking water containing the bacteria is aspirated.

Legionella infection may be more prominent in people with weakened immune systems, those who smoke, infants, the elderly, and pregnant individuals.

Stomach & Gastrointestinal Problems

Stomach and gastrointestinal issues are the most common symptoms associated with waterborne illnesses. Many bacteria and viruses can lead to diarrhea, vomiting, stomach cramps, and nausea.

These health issues are serious and can be deadly. If you are experiencing a gastrointestinal illness caused by drinking water, notify the local health department and water treatment companies as soon as possible. Use bottled water only until help can be provided.

At North Florida Water Systems Inc, our experienced technicians can install a whole house water filtration system or a reverse osmosis system to help filter out contaminants. Contact us today for more information or to schedule water treatment services.
