If you live in Wrightstown, PA, you may have heard the recent news: several private wells in town have tested above acceptable levels for PFAS and nitrates. This development has raised understandable concerns for homeowners who rely on well water and has prompted many to question whether their water is safe. For those looking for immediate support, O’Brien’s Well Service is prepared to respond quickly.
What is happening in Wrightstown
Recent testing found elevated levels of PFAS in several private wells. PFAS, often referred to as forever chemicals, have been used in firefighting foam, nonstick coatings, and various industrial processes. Because these chemicals break down slowly, they can accumulate in groundwater over time.
Private wells do not fall under the same regulatory oversight as public water systems. This means homeowners must take the initiative to test and treat their water if contamination is detected. Long term exposure to PFAS has been associated with various health concerns, which makes timely action especially important.
What homeowners should do now
If your home relies on a private well, regular testing is essential. Experts recommend:
-
Testing for PFAS and nitrates through certified sampling
-
Installing a verified water treatment system such as activated carbon or reverse osmosis to reduce PFAS contamination
-
Exploring the feasibility of deeper, professionally constructed wells when appropriate
Responding quickly helps reduce health risks and ensures consistent access to safe water.
