What's in my water?
Well water can be beneficial and at the same time harmful to a homeowner. It is always recommended for people that are on a well systems, to have their water checked annually.
Do ever have that harsh “rotten egg” stench coming from your water, that travels through your entire home? That stench is a result of excess sulphur in your well. At MHS we can get rid of this stench and have your drinking, bathing and cleaning with clean water that tastes and smells fresh.
Although well water is free to the homeowner, it could be contaminated with bacteria and pose an immediate threat to the health of you and your family. Other threats can cause health problems over time by accumulating in the body (for example, kidney stones). Such threats are due to many factors such as: agricultural, commercial, industrial and residential waste/pollution. Some of the biggest bacterial threats would be e-coli and coliform.
The general method to deal with such problems would be to dump jugs of bleach into your well, which does not always fix the problem. It is highly recommended that anyone that is on a well system uses the appropriate water filtration system, as not all houses will have the same contaminants.
Some well-water contaminants include:
- E-coli
- Coliforms
- Uranium
- Radium
- Radon
- Nitrates

- Arsenic
- Cadmium
- Chromium
- Lead
- Copper
- Selenium
