Why East Tennessee Wells Have Bacteria Problems
Understanding the local conditions that lead to bacterial contamination
Aging Septic Systems
Many East Tennessee homes rely on septic systems that can leak bacteria into groundwater, especially older systems or those with poor maintenance.
Agricultural Runoff
Livestock operations and agricultural activities can introduce bacteria from animal waste into surface water that infiltrates wells.
Surface Water Intrusion
Heavy rains and flooding can introduce surface contaminants into wells through damaged casings or inadequate well head protection.
Poor Well Construction
Older wells may lack proper casing, sealing, or sanitary protection, allowing bacteria to enter the water supply.
Why Regular Testing is Critical
Bacteria contamination can occur suddenly and without warning. A well that tested clean last year could be contaminated today due to heavy rains, nearby septic issues, or well damage.
