Texas Well Owner Network is a great resource! They provide information on well water quality, treatment, and maintenance issues along with screenings and education courses.

For Texans who rely on well water, a little help can go a long way.

Across Texas over the last decade, thousands of well owners have taken the time to learn more about their water through Texas Well Owner Network programs.

People leave these programs with a low-cost water screening completed and explained, a better understanding of groundwater and clear next steps for maintaining their well.
