The National Ground Water Association (NGWA), the nation’s leading authority on the use and protection of ground water, announces its annual Ground Water Awareness Week. The event, which spotlights ground water as a valuable and renewable resource, will be held the week of March 8-14, 2009. This year NGWA is promoting the importance of well maintenance, and urges well owners to have their wells serviced annually. According to the NGWA, annual checkups of wells by certified experts are the best way to ensure uninterrupted service of water and consistent water quality. The NGWA also stresses that good well maintenance can prolong the life of a well and associated equipment, and preventative maintenance is often times less expensive than emergency repair of a well.
