Well Abandonment
Wells that are unused and have not been abandoned properly can cause a risk to ground water quality. Wells decommissioned incorrectly can send contaminated surface water into ground water. Ground water flows through soil and rock to filter out contaminants, but contamination from an improperly abandoned well can spread through the water table to wells in the area.
When a home connects to city water it is required that the existing well either be abandoned or re purposed to irrigation. Because of the risks, abandoned wells must be filled, sealed and plugged to keep the groundwater safe.
