Around 13 million American households rely on private wells for their water supply systems. With a supply on your property, you’re in control of your water quality and know exactly where it’s coming from. Clean water isn’t the only benefit of residential water wells, however. Here are a few more reasons to consider having one installed.

3 Advantages of Having a Residential Water Well

1. Reduced Monthly Costs

If you don’t use municipal water facilities, you won’t receive water bills. The average four-person family in America pays around $70 per month for water, which becomes $840 per year.

After the initial build and installation of a well, you’ll only have to pay for regular maintenance and annual inspections. This means the well will pay itself off in just a few summers.

2. Reliable Water Supply

Have you ever gone to turn on a faucet and been met by nothing? There are many situations in which water companies leave homeowners without water, including when there’s scheduled maintenance or burst pipelines. 

With your own water supply, these surprises will never happen. Your source is entirely independent, and you are fully in control of the maintenance and repair schedule. 

3. Higher Property Value

Installing a water well is a home improvement project. With an independent water supply system on your property, you can ask for a higher price if you ever decide to put your home on the market. Even if you live somewhere where the municipal facilities provide this service, your own source for emergencies will always be a hot commodity.
