Is faucet water safe to drink? We have gotten this question over and over again from curious Seabeck homeowners, especially if their property is hooked to a well. It’s common knowledge that tap water from a municipal water supply should not be consumed straight out of the faucet. However, what about water sanitation when it’s sourced from the ground? Here’s an in-depth explanation about well water and whether it’s safe for consumption.
Well Water Safety
The short answer is yes; it’s generally safe to drink faucet water that comes from a well. However, there’s a huge caveat. This is provided that the water is tested for contaminants. Unlike tap water from a municipal supply, the groundwater from your well isn’t tested. It’s up to the homeowner to perform the testing with a water treatment professional.
Well Water Contaminants
Well water can contain a host of impurities and pathogens. This includes bacteria, parasites, arsenic, heavy metals, and soil sediments. If consumed, this can lead to symptoms like nausea, an upset stomach, and vomiting. If consumed over a long period, it can cause serious health concerns, ranging from organ damage to cancer.
The Solution
Fortunately, there’s an easy solution. Have a professional perform water treatment and testing annually. The treatment part includes a multifaceted system that includes a water softener, UV treatment, pH remediation, and more. This filters out the impurities for crisp and clean water.
