What you should know about Private Drinking Water Wells The EPA estimates that more than 21 million American households rely on private well water systems to provide their families with their drinking water? Here in New England, approximately 2.3 million people, or 20% of New Englanders have wells. In Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont, that number increases to 40%.
Knowledge is Power!
Most potential Homebuyers would never consider buying a new house without a thorough home inspection. Unfortunately, the properties well water system and the quality of its drinking water is not always given the same consideration. Advise your clients to get the most information possible from qualified professionals about both the well water quality and the condition and functioning of the entire drinking water system. Good quality drinking water increases a property’s marketability.
Today’s increasingly health conscious consumer is looking for the peace of mind that the potential property will provide them with many years of safe and clean water for their family. Sellers can avoid any delays at closing by addressing any water quality concerns before the house is placed on the market or comes under contract. Proof of a recent water test and well inspection reduces the chance of any surprises along the way. A house with poor quality water or a well system in disrepair will be worth much less than a comparable property with a properly maintained water system.
