Where does city water come from?

Almost 50 per cent of all Ontarians get their water from Lake Ontario. As Ontarian water sources go, Lake Ontario is by far the largest resource, with some 6.3 million people getting their water from the Great Lake. Some 943,000 people use the Ottawa River as their source, with 657,000 people depending on groundwater supplies.

What are the common problems with drinking water?

Some common problems with drinking water include water hardnes and dissolved metals and chemicals from bedrock such as manganese, chloride, and iron. These deposits can cause water to become discoloured and can even corrode metal. Solutions include using water softeners, reverse osmosis and distillation systems.

Why is it important to drink better water?

There are many health benefits to drinking water, especially water that is properly treated. Avoiding contaminants such as lead is an important means to avoiding adverse health effects.

Is A Drilled Well Or A Dug Well Better?

A drilled well is almost always safe from biological contamination and is less affected by seasonal quantity and quality problems when compared to a dug well. Another aspect you need to consider is cost, and this is generally the same for a properly constructed dug well and a properly constructed drilled well. It’s also important to note that selling a home with a drilled well is a lot easier than selling a home with a dug well, and this is because dug wells often fail to meet certain bank standards, so they will refuse a mortgage as a result.

Is A New Well Expensive To Install?

It’s hard to say how much a new well will cost because it’s impossible to determine how deep the technicians will have to drill. A reputable company will provide you with a detailed model for your area, and this will include best and worst-case scenarios, and the information will be based on the wells that already exist around your area. The company will update you every step of the way and will inform you of any new information before they continue with the process. Other factors like salt contamination, oil contamination and equipment failures will affect the price as well. Communicate with your driller from start to finish.

What Should I Do If I Have Bacteria In My Well?

Stop drinking the water right away, and don’t use the water to brush your teeth. You need to boil the water before drinking it or using it in foods, and you need to call a professional drilling and pump company right away. They will tell you why you are experiencing this problem and will provide you with a solution. Do not pour bleach into your well, as this is unsafe and ineffective.
