What factor does age play for wells?
The age of your well is an important factor in predicting whether your water might be polluted. A well constructed more than 60 years ago is likely surrounded by many activities that can cause pollution. Older wells typically have a thinner casing that can corrode more easily. Older well pumps are also more likely to leak lubricating oils into the well. All of these characteristics of older wells can contribute to the pollution of your well water. If you have an older well, you might wish to have it examined by Raymond Brown Well Co. We also advise that you have your well examined yearly.
