An irrigation water well is a dedicated well that provides water to the sprinkler systems and other irrigation devices on your property. Proper watering ensures lush, vibrant, and healthy lawns, but the benefits of a dedicated well go beyond the aesthetic. Learn about a few of these added benefits below.

Why Install an Irrigation Well?

1. Decrease Utility Bills

To maintain quality irrigation practices, a large amount of water is needed. When you rely on a public water supply, this can result in high utility costs. An irrigation well lets you draw free water from your own private supply. In a dry climate like Nevada, where irrigation is needed year-round for everything from lawn care to agriculture, a dedicated water well can lead to significant financial savings.

2. Save Time & Energy

When you rely on public water, you often have to route water from one or two outdoor faucets to the areas that need irrigation. This usually means dragging hoses across the yard and connecting multiple sprinklers or watering by hand, which can be laborious, time-consuming work. 

An irrigation well gives you water access in a convenient location on your property. To make things even easier, you can connect an automatic sprinkler system directly to the well and have it turn on and off at preset times. You will save time and energy, and proper irrigation will no longer be a hassle.

3. Ensure Healthy Water

Typical municipal water treatment uses chemicals like chlorine, chlorine dioxide, and ozone to help clean the water before it reaches your home. Calcium, fluoride, or magnesium may also be added to increase nutrient content. 

But these additions may not be appropriate for irrigation needs. With a private water well, you will know where the water is coming from and can test and treat it, if necessary, to ensure it maintains purity.
