Building your dream home is one of the most exciting experiences of life. However, there are multiple factors to consider when you’re constructing a home that’s out of range of city water. If your new home requires a well, consider these factors before getting started.

Location

Before drilling a well, you need to consider the location. To maintain proper health codes, the well should be located at least several feet away from the following:

  • Septic tank
  • Pump house floor drain
  • Landfill
  • Boundary of property
The exact distance from these areas might be different from state to state, so be sure to ask your well drilling company before beginning the process.

Number of Wells

If you live in an area that has a low water supply, it’s possible that you might need to drill a second well to keep up with your household’s water needs. Below, you’ll find a few reasons to consider drilling a second well.

  • Large animals on the property, such as horses or cattle
  • Crop irrigation
