While it may not seem like a priority, the location of your water well plays a crucial role in its longevity, performance, and water quality. Each property presents its own environmental concerns and risks. As such, what might be a great location for a well on one property might not work on another.

At North Florida Water Systems Inc, our contractors are knowledgeable in industry-leading Florida well drilling practices. By thoroughly analyzing and evaluating nearby water sources, soil content, and potential contamination sources, we take the time necessary to recommend the ideal well drilling solution for your specific needs.

Avoid Potential Contaminants

Wells should be located a good distance away from sources of pollution. Depending on where your home is, this might include septic tanks, farms, livestock enclosures, or chemical storage facilities. Otherwise, your household might experience devastating risks to their health and well-being.

Rest assured that when you schedule well installations through North Florida Water Systems Inc, you are in good hands. Since 1974, our company has provided commercial and residential properties in Alachua, Gilchrist, Columbia, and surrounding North Florida counties with water wells that are superior in construction. Moreover, water well contractor Robert L. McMillan, Jr. graduated from the University of Florida with a degree in Environmental Regulations—allowing him and North Florida Water Systems Inc owner Robert L. McMillan, Sr. to expertly advise customers on the ideal location for their well while avoiding adverse ecological and environmental factors.

Property Elevation

If possible, water wells should be located at a higher elevation than the surrounding property. This position protects the well from flooding and stormwater runoff, which can carry harmful pollutants that can tamper with the well’s water quality.

Our licensed and certified well drillers can evaluate the topography of your property to determine a well location that avoids possible contamination while preserving water quality and well performance.

Remember Local Regulations

When installing a new well, it is important to work with well technicians who are well-versed in local and state requirements and regulations. Additionally, our experienced water well drilling professionals will obtain the necessary well permit on your behalf before the construction process begins. We will gather the required information and submit it to your local water management district, so all you have to worry about is enjoying your beautiful new well!

Remain Easily Accessible

If properly maintained, a water well can function efficiently for years to come. It is best practice to place new wells in an easily accessible and visible location. That way, in the event that well maintenance or repairs are needed, service vehicles and drilling equipment can conveniently reach the well—minimizing downtime, ensuring reliable water access, and preventing costly part replacements.

At North Florida Water Systems Inc, we can evaluate your terrain and recommend a well location that will make annual inspections, water treatment services, and well pump repairs a hassle-free procedure.
