When your well has been flooded, bacteria and other harmful organisms can get into your water
You should consider your well flooded if:
The well head was covered or well casing was inundated with water.
You notice changes in the taste or color or the presence of sediment in your water.
Your well is shallow-cased nearby areas have been flooded.
It will take time for the water to be safe to use again. You will need an unaffected source of water to use for several weeks while you fix your well. Safe water includes bottled water, tap water that you boiled for one minute, or water from a well that was not flooded.
