Water Well Contamination Can Show Up Anytime and Anywhere in Vermont

Location of known hazardous waste sites in Vermont

Without an safe and adequate water supply a home is essentially unihabitable. While the cost to treat or replace a water well in Vermont can run into the tens of thousands of dollars or more. In most vermont communities the public water supply is limited ot non-existent. Using a water well is the only option regardless of the costs.

Only testing can insure your water supply is safe

Without testing people have no idea whether the water they are drinking is safe or not. Most common well water contaminants are odorless, colorless and tasteless. The fact that the well is in use is no indication that the water is actually safe to drink. Some water well contaminants act over years to casue illness and desease. The only sure way to know what you are drinking is to test.
