Private Wells on Larger Lots
Larger lots common in Waxhaw often mean wells are farther from shared infrastructure and may have been drilled at different times with different equipment. That variation is exactly why a fresh water test matters, even if a neighbor's well tested a certain way.
For a private or shared well near managed turf, our golf course water testing guide explains why testing can be reasonable without assuming that any named course has affected a nearby property.
UV Treatment and Bacteria Considerations
Private wells can be exposed to bacteria depending on well construction, nearby land use, and maintenance history. For households concerned about bacteria, UV treatment is a common addition alongside standard filtration, used after a water test identifies the need.
