Don't be fooled into thinking that only people out in the country can have a private well. A well driller can help most homeowners create a private well for their water needs. In fact, according to Bankrate, over 15 million homes in the U.S. have private wells. Let's look at some of the benefits of a private well to help you decide if it's the right fit for you.

Reduced Dependence on Municipal Water

Municipal water supplies can sometimes be unreliable. If you're relying solely on municipal water and a water main bursts or other problems arise, you'll be left without water for some time. When you're using a private well, though, your water supply is only based on the health and maintenance of your well.

Reduced Risk of Contamination

Municipal water systems are at risk of widespread contamination. Because all the water is connected, if contamination happens in one part of the system, all water recipients are affected. There are so many sources of contamination that could affect municipal water. If you're relying on your own well, then you're limited to only a few sources of contamination. You'll have first-hand information concerning the problem from the professional well driller you hire, giving you control over fixing the issue quickly. You won't be at the mercy of others and their timeline.



Enhanced Water Taste

Many well owners cite that well water simply tastes better. This is likely because additives aren't in well water. Municipal water must have many additives put into it to control bacteria and pathogens. Some of these additives can contribute to health issues or allergies.

Lowered Costs

While there's the initial cost of having a well dug by a professional well driller, you don't have to worry about expenses besides maintenance. This is different from depending on municipal water; you must pay a monthly water bill that can fluctuate based on many factors, which can cost you more over time.

Decreased Water Restrictions

When you're using a municipal water system, you're obligated to fall under water restrictions for that area. This isn't the case with well water. You'll have autonomy over how and when to use your water.
