Wells of New Hampshire
COMMON WELLS (and well problems) FOUND IN NH:
STONE LINED DUG/SURFACE WELL: More susceptible to bacteria & other contaminants – Should be tested annually for bacteria, Nitrates & Nitrates. High potential for going dry in the dry season
CEMENT TILE / SURFACE WELL: More susceptible to bacteria & other contaminants – Should be tested annually for bacteria, Nitrates & Nitrates. High potential for going dry in the dry season
DRILLED BEDROCK WELL / ARTESIAN: Sealed bedrock well has a drive show that is sealed into the rock eliminating surface contaminants from entering the well. Bacteria, Nitrates & Nitrites should be tested annually. More reliable, safe water supply, not prone to go dry in the dry season, due to water bearing fractures that produce somewhat steady flow of water year round.
