Here are some additional tips for well owners with older wells:

Be aware of the signs of well problems. This could include low water pressure, brown or cloudy water, or an unpleasant taste or odor.

Have your well inspected more frequently than every 10 years, especially if you are located in an area with known groundwater contamination.

Keep your well records up to date, including the results of any well inspections or water quality tests.

Be prepared to replace or repair your well system as needed.
