What is a Chlorination? 
A chlorination is a process that disinfects a well using household bleach. A chlorination is the most recommended treatment for bacterial contamination.  
  
When Should a Chlorination Be Used?
  • If a water test is postive for coliform or e. coli
  • If a well or the well casing is covered by flood waters​
  • After a new well is completed or when an unused well is used again 
  • If a well has iron bacteria, biofilm (a slime like substance), or odor
  • If a well system is opened for installation, repair, or maintenance
Instructions to Chlorinate Well
​
When Does a Chlorination Not Work?
Bacterial Contamination may recoccur if:
  • a septic system is malfunctioning nearby
  • surface water has an entry to the well, such as:​
    • ​an improper well location
    • well cap malfunction or the absence of a well cap
    • cracked well casing
    • faults in the well construction
  • ​If bacteria problems persist after a chlorination, the source should be identified by a licensed well driller. A water treatment filter may be necessary​
What Kind of Bleach Should Be Used?
Use plain, unscented household bleach. Do NOT use scented or "splashless" bleach.
