Sometimes coliform is a sign that your septic system is too close to your well. That’s not a DIY fix.
You’ll need a pro to inspect both. Yes, it costs money. But so does drinking bacterial soup—pick your poison.
Or, maybe your well is drilled into shallow groundwater. In that case, deepening the well or installing a double-cased liner might be the only fix.
Don’t pretend you can’t hear me. Call a licensed well driller. They’ve seen it all, including weirder stuff than your coliform.
What About Boiling?
Boiling works in a pinch. It’s your emergency plan during a power outage or system failure. But boiling every glass of water? That’s exhausting.
You’d never leave the kitchen. Bye-bye, social life. So, boil for camping trips, not for daily life.
