Let Mainline Plumbing efficiently handle your bacteria removal in Londonderry, NH. Contaminated drinking water isn’t often a problem if you use city water. However, if you have a well, you should take special precautions to limit your family’s exposure to unsafe bacteria and viruses.
Some of the most common microorganisms found in wells include salmonella, fecal coliforms like E. coli, and parasitic giardia. Investing in bacteria filtration will protect your household from using or consuming contaminated water.

City water companies have to follow strict chemical and bacterial guidelines that limit the presence of harmful viruses. Alternately, private water wells don’t automatically receive the same level of testing. The three most common types of drinking wells include driven wells, dug wells, and drilled wells.
Millions of people across the country rely on groundwater wells for their drinking water. Unfortunately, the water in these wells can easily become polluted if it encounters local landfills, leaking septic tanks, pesticides, and urban runoff. That’s why it’s so essential to ensure your well is a safe distance from any manure stacks, leach fields, or fuel tanks.
Your well can easily accumulate harmful coliform bacteria as well as microorganisms like shigella and campylobacter. Consuming water contaminated with these bacteria will usually result in symptoms similar to food poisoning. However, constant exposure may result in long-lasting health concerns for you and your family.
Monitor your drinking water for any of these signs that may mean your well has become contaminated.
Noticeable odor
Cloudiness or discoloration
Floating sediment
Unpleasant taste
To keep your well water safe for consumption, you should test your water quality at least once a year. You won’t have to deal with as many bacterial issues if you invest in well chlorination, which is also called “shock chlorination.” This is a safe, efficient, and cost-effective way to eliminate bacteria colonies in your water.
A positive side benefit is that this process can help with a high iron level that may come from local soil and rocks or corroding pipes. You also have the choice to install an ultraviolet water filtration system to purify your water as it enters the home. This long bulb is typically installed on your main supply line and can remove or neutralize up to 99% of your water’s viruses and bacteria.
