Out-of-service wells may pose potential safety hazards and threats to ground water if not treated properly. There are some common issues that homeowners often face. They are as follows:

Lack of routine maintenance can lead to a change in water quality. It is recommended to have your water tested yearly if you find there’s been a change in taste or smell. It’s also good to have your well shock chlorinated, used to control bacteria. If this is not done, it may reduce your well yield, restrict the water flow, and cause plugging within the equipment. 

Water filtration systems are available at Westar Drilling Ltd in Sherwood Park to ensure the water you collect is safe to drink.

Water wells are considered a great investment for our society. They supply water for residential, industrial and irrigation purposes. An effective monitoring program will identify changes in water levels and water quality before they become serious problems. A drilled or bored well can last up to 30 years or more.
