Private well users in Connecticut usually experience significant reductions in groundwater levels during summer droughts or when water usage is particularly high. Depending on the condition of soils, rocks and other ground-related variables influencing the operation of their wells, some well owners may suffer water problems while their neighbors do not.

The #1 reason for experiencing low pressure is a plugged filter or cartridge. If you have a cartridge style sediment filter it may be plugged and due to be changed. If you have a down flow, up flow or backwashing style filter, it can also become plugged with sediment, iron or other minerals over time.
A wellhead is an above ground access point to your home’s underground water well. It looks like a metal pipe or tube and will typically stick-up about 16 inches above the ground.
