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.

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.

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. Read more on our Water Quality page.
