अगले कदम

Use caution if the well was submerged, the cap is damaged, or water became cloudy.
Test total coliform, E. coli, nitrate, and turbidity after conditions stabilize.
Inspect drainage so surface water flows away from the well casing.
Retest if bacteria appears or if the same problem repeats after storms.

FAQ

Can rain cause coliform in well water?

Yes, heavy rain can reveal a surface-water pathway into a vulnerable well or plumbing system.

Should I shock chlorinate after every heavy rain?

No. Repeated bacteria after rain usually means the source pathway needs correction, not repeated disinfection alone.
