Eligibility:
Residents with private wells and other types of private water systems.
Purpose:
To ensure “safe” water for use by residents not using public water
systems.
Description:
The Environmental Health Sanitarians will conduct inspections of private
wells and water systems that have been issued permits for installation
or alteration. Staff will also collect water samples to test for the
presence of bacteria, pollutants, and other types of contamination.
Private water systems include dug wells, drilled wells, cisterns, hauled
water storage tanks, springs and ponds.
The Health District recommends that private water systems be tested
annually for bacteria. If plumbing work or work on the water system
components takes place the water system should be disinfected by
chlorination of the water system before it is put back into service.
Staff will also inspect private water systems at the request of the
system owner or potential buyer of the property.
