Winnebago County health department officials are investigating the discovery of vocs in two private wells in the northwest Rockford, IL area. We hear people say, “I have well water, its great, we don’t need any water treatment!” But there are many things that can be in well water that you can’t smell, taste or see. Volatile organic compounds (vocs), bacteria, virus, pesticides, insecticides, nitrate, radium, trichloretheylne…the list is much larger. When you have a well, only you are responsible for the quality of your water.
At any given time, between 20 & 40% of wells are bacterially contaminated. A good water test one day does not ensure a good test on another. Water quality changes, contaminants are introduced to the environment or migrate from one aquifer to another. The best way to protect your family’s health from long-term effects of unwanted chemicals, minerals or bacteria is with a careful, thoughtful water treatment plan.
