Disinfection of Water Wells

A private water well should be disinfected as a preventive maintenance measure anytime you have work done on your well or distribution system. Well disinfection can be done by a homeowner but if you would like to hire a well service to do the work for you, look online or in the business pages of the phone directory for water well drilling services.
