State of Florida
The
Department of Environmental Protection has the primary role
of regulating public water systems in Florida. Authority derives
from Chapter 403, Part IV, Florida Statutes and by delegation of
the federal program from the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency. The Department has promulgated a number of rules in the
Florida Administrative Code.
And the digging of water wells, both public and private, and
the quantities of water that may be extracted, are regulated by
the Water Management Districts.

and federal agencies and local governments to achieve its

Water Well Drilling.
Pollock Well Drilling, Inc. is a full service well drilling &
service company with the expertise you need to tackle your water
well project. And when we say tackle, we mean the whole project
or any part of it. Drilling of the actual bore hole is one of
many aspects that we do often for our clients.
Once the bore hole is drilled for the water well, a
casing is used to line the hole and construct the well. The well
casing can vary greatly, with the most common materials used
being Plastic Piping, Carbon Steel Piping and Stainless Steel.
The use of any casing is regulated and dependent on the geologic
conditions within your land. There are many factors to consider
when planning & constructing a new water well, so please consult
with an expert, such as ourselves, Pollock Well Drilling, Inc.
early in the process. Read more on
our Water Well Drilling page.
Water Quality.
Pollock Well Drilling, Inc. are experts in the testing &
treatment of well water (ground water). Because there are such
wide ranges of water quality, you must get involved in the
testing & treating of your water so that your well water is safe
for consumption. The most common problem with well water is hard
water, which is often the cause of heavy minerals like
Magnesium. You want to know what's in your water even if it
looks & smells okay, so always test & treat accordingly.
Since well water can house all sorts of surprises, testing
allows us to see what's hidden and dial in your preference for
hard or soft water. And we can remove unpleasant cloudiness
and/or foul odors from your water and make that tall glass of
ice water crisp & refreshing - like nature intended!
Your water should be a source of health & happiness, not a
mysterious hazard. Call a professional water quality company
like, Pollock Well Drilling, Inc, and be in the know.
