We just a place out on a river. Our well is 600'. The guys around us casually say "well, if the river floods ( a foot or so occasionally), call the well people and they'll come out and treat.
From reading a lot, I see it's probably bleach that's used.
What I don't understand is how/why the wells get contaminated.
Ours is nicely sealed on top, and has plumbing that keeps water in and other things out. If we have a foot or so of water on top, how does this contaminate the well???? Does it flow down on outside of the casing?
I know nothing about wells, and am just curious what's going on, and why.
