Proper construction and maintenance of household water well systems is vitally important to public health. Water quality can be endangered by well systems that are deficient due to (1) neglected maintenance, or (2) because the well is beyond its useful lifespan.
Too often, urgently needed water well work is not done because either well owners cannot afford it—or they perceive that they cannot afford it. There are financing options available including:
- Contractor-offered financing
- Credit cards
- Mortgage options
- Home equity improvement loans
- Lines of credit
- Government long-term, low-interest loans
- Non-profits such as the Water Well Trust
To learn more about the Water Well Trust or if you need assistance and would like to apply, please visit their website at www.waterwelltrust.org. To see Water Well Trust at work, watch this video.
