Well casing Extension
Buried wells are no longer allowed. While existing buried wells are "grandfathered" in, bringing a buried well up to current code by extending the well casing above grade is a useful exercise, not only because it offers added protection to the potable water source, but can also make the home more marketable when selling. While there are no guarantees that an above grade well head will keep the water free from bacterial contamination; a well head that is above grade with a watertight cap eliminates one potential pathway for pathogens to enter your potable water supply.
