Summer droughts can put a strain on your well water supply, leaving you concerned about water quality and availability. If you rely on a well, taking a few proactive steps can help ensure you have clean, reliable water all season long. Here’s what you can do to protect your water well during dry spells.
Monitor Your Water Levels
During a drought, water levels in your well may drop, affecting pressure and supply. Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Low water pressure
- Sputtering faucets
- Cloudy or muddy water
If you notice any of these issues, it’s best to reduce water usage and check your well’s performance. A professional inspection can confirm whether your well is still functioning properly.
Conserve Water Wisely
Cutting back on water use helps preserve your well during dry periods. Try these easy conservation tips:
- Fix leaky faucets and pipes right away
- Water lawns early in the morning or late in the evening
- Take shorter showers and avoid unnecessary flushing
Small changes can make a big difference in maintaining your well’s water levels.
Schedule a Well Maintenance Check
Regular maintenance is key to keeping your well in top shape, especially before drought season hits. A licensed plumber can:
- Test water quality for contaminants
- Inspect the pump and pressure tank
- Ensure the well casing is secure
Preventive care helps avoid costly repairs and keeps your water safe to use.
