🚨 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗹𝘀 & 𝗙𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴: 𝗦𝗮𝗳𝗲𝘁𝘆 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽𝘀 🚨 Flooding can contaminate private wells with bacteria or other harmful substances, making the water unsafe to drink. If your well has been flooded: ✔️ Boil your water for at least one minute after it reaches a rolling boil, or use an alternative water source. ✔️ Look for signs of contamination—cloudy or muddy water may indicate your well has been impacted. ✔️ Get your water tested for coliform bacteria by an approved drinking water lab before using it for drinking or cooking. 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝗔𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗙𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴: 🔹 Run an outside spigot until the water runs clear. 🔹 For many private wells, mixing 4 cups of bleach with 5 gallons of water will be enough to treat 200 gallons of water which yields approximately 50 ppm or 50mg/L 🔹 Circulate the bleach by running an outside hose into the well casing until you smell chlorine from the hose. 🔹 Turn on all cold water faucets inside until you smell chlorine, then turn them off. 🔹 Wait at least 8 hours before using the water. 🔹 Flush the system until no chlorine smell remains. 🔹 Test your water at least 5 days after disinfection—only use it for drinking or cooking once results confirm it’s safe.
