Private wells in the Durham area
Outside the Durham and Chapel Hill water systems, homes in northern Durham County, rural Orange County and Person County depend on private wells.
Most homes here use drilled wells cut into fractured bedrock, often 150 to 500 feet deep, with a submersible pump near the bottom and a pressure tank in the basement, crawlspace or garage.
Well pump questions in Durham
Do wells in Orange and Person counties need regular testing?
North Carolina recommends testing private well water regularly, and after any repair that opens the well. Your county environmental health office can test for bacteria and common contaminants for a fee.
Is it the pump or the pressure switch?
If the pump will not start, a failed pressure switch, tripped breaker or bad control box is often the cause and costs far less to fix than the pump. A certified well contractor can test each part before replacing anything.
Who is allowed to repair a well pump in North Carolina?
North Carolina requires well construction, repair and pump installation to be done by or under the supervision of a certified well contractor, with limited exceptions such as some work by licensed plumbers. Ask any contractor for their North Carolina well contractor certification.
