Many Plant City home and business owners opt for private well drilling and installation, and it’s not hard to see why. Private wells offer more benefits than municipal water suppliers, with cleaner, better-tasting, and healthier water for individual homes, businesses, or entire communities.

With a municipal water supply, there are always risks. The supply can be cut off unexpectedly, and the general public cannot control how the water is treated or what additives and chemicals the municipality adds. Chlorine, fluoride, and other ingredients are regularly combined with municipal water, which may impact taste, smell, and nutritional value.

In contrast, private wells source water directly from the earth without any chemical treatment. Passing over natural rock layers, well water is pure and natural, enriched with healthy minerals like magnesium and calcium. This results in much more pleasant drinking water, although it can also be used for other purposes, like cleaning and irrigation.

Private wells are also highly reliable, providing a steady, consistent water supply whenever needed. As long as the pump is well-maintained and fully functioning, the well can continue to provide clean, pure, natural water every day, all year long. There are even financial benefits, as well water is typically cheaper to use in the long term compared to paying municipal rates.
