Water Well Rehabilitation & Abandonment
Rehabilitation of improperly installed water wells is an important step in protecting the quality of your drinking water, the water others may use, and safety on your property. Wells that still have concrete lids above ground must be modified to conform to Iowa DNR standards. Morrell Company is a licensed water well contractor in Iowa and can properly renovate your well to meet or exceed DNR requirements. Having Morrell Company do the job allows a $600.00 rebate (good to June of 2000) from the State for taking the proper steps in rehabilitation. Enforcement will come, so you are better off to get some cash back now than to be forced to comply later. Morrell Company also can work to renovate your private or public well system using assured professional methods of increased production, cleaning & sanitizing well systems. Continued maintenance after will also provide quality water. Many bacteria's caused problems such as odors, discoloration, and even reduced flow. Mineral deposits causing reduced flow can be dealt with effectively also at Morrel Company. Abandonment of wells should be done when the well is no longer in good working condition, poorly constructed, or not in use. Cisterns also apply to abandonment procedures. These are dangerous to leave unattended, as people (especially small children) die or are injured from old wells & cisterns annually. Again Morrell Company has proper licensing to safely abandon & seal wells, allowing for $200.00 cash back from the State for a limited time. Responsibility begins with property owners to safely resolve these potential dangers, but will ultimately end with forced compliance by the DNR.
