Unsafe private wells threaten Kansas water supply
A Kansas State University study finds 60 percent of Kansas private wells fail safe drinking standards, with 80 percent of dug wells noncompliant. About 120,000 private wells exist in Kansas, with 1,500 new wells drilled yearly, underscoring the need for regular maintenance and proper siting to prevent contamination from septic tanks and other sources. Powell urges annual maintenance plans, testing, and proper well construction per KDHE standards to ensure a safe, continuous supply.
