Well Water After Heavy Rain or Flooding

Heavy rain or flooding can affect vulnerable wells and surrounding groundwater. If water changes in color, taste, or odor—or floodwater reached the well—avoid guessing from appearance. Follow local public-health guidance, inspect the well, and arrange appropriate testing. Disinfection, repairs, and retesting may be required before treatment equipment is reconsidered.
