If your well has been flooded: โœ”๏ธ Boil your water for at least one minute after it reaches a rolling boil, or use an alternative water source. โœ”๏ธ Look for signs of contaminationโ€”cloudy or muddy water may indicate your well has been impacted. โœ”๏ธ Get your water tested for coliform bacteria by an approved drinking water lab before using it for drinking or cooking. ๐—›๐—ผ๐˜„ ๐˜๐—ผ ๐——๐—ถ๐˜€๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ณ๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐˜ ๐—ฌ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ฟ ๐—ช๐—ฒ๐—น๐—น ๐—”๐—ณ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฟ ๐—™๐—น๐—ผ๐—ผ๐—ฑ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด: ๐Ÿ”น Run an outside spigot until the water runs clear. ๐Ÿ”น 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 ๐Ÿ”น Circulate the bleach by running an outside hose into the well casing until you smell chlorine from the hose. ๐Ÿ”น Turn on all cold water faucets inside until you smell chlorine, then turn them off. ๐Ÿ”น Wait at least 8 hours before using the water. ๐Ÿ”น Flush the system until no chlorine smell remains. ๐Ÿ”น Test your water at least 5 days after disinfectionโ€”only use it for drinking or cooking once results confirm itโ€™s safe.
