May 5, 2014

WESTERVILLE, Ohio — Flooding by surface water can threaten groundwater quality and the condition of a well system.

WESTERVILLE, Ohio — There are certain things household water well owners should know during this flood season about how to protect their wells and their water quality, according to a press release from the National Ground Water Association.

Flooding by surface water can threaten groundwater quality and the condition of a well system, noted the release.

The vulnerability of a well can vary depending on the area in which one's property is located or even the specific spot on a parcel of property where the well is installed, said Cliff Treyens, National Ground Water Association public awareness director, the release reported.

According to the release, household well owners should take a series of steps before a flood threatens, when flooding is imminent and after well flooding to prevent, minimize or recover from well flooding.
