Well Water Use During Power Outages

If your home relies on a well, a power outage can mean more than just the lights going out—it can also interrupt your water supply. Without electricity, most pumps, filtration, and softener systems won’t run, leaving your taps dry.

To stay prepared, we recommend keeping water stored in jugs, bottles, or other containers for emergency use. Having water on hand ensures you’re covered for both drinking and personal hygiene during an outage.

Winter tip: Store containers indoors. If left outside, water can freeze and become unusable when you need it most.
