Video Blog - Penn State Extension Private Drinking Water Well Videos

Five new online videos are now online from the Penn State Extension Service to help the more than 1 million private water well owners properly maintain and identify well problems.

 

 

Three million people in Pennsylvania are served by private wells, with 20,000 new wells drilled each year in the state. However, Pennsylvania is one of only a few states with no regulations covering the construction and safety of water coming from those wells.

 

As a result, well owners should learn to identify problems and properly maintain their wells.

The videos coverwater supply basics, water supply and conservation, water supply construction and maintenance, water supply testing and protection and solving water problems.

 

The videos are available online, along with other resources to help well owners.
