Hotline HOT Topic: Iron & Well Water

My well is not that old, what is with all the rust?  

We have covered this topic before, but many around the nation are struggling with sudden iron concerns. It can be related to low water levels which can increase the concentration of the contaminant, geography, different types of casing material, or a mix of all mentioned. See our info sheet for more on Iron & Well Water.

Contact your licensed well contractor to discuss the location of well, materials used, and any options to improve your water quality. You should also have your water tested before purchasing any water treatment. Contact the wellcare® Hotline with any questions.
