It could have harmful contaminants that were washed in from the flooding.<\/li>\n<li>Keep a robust supply of bottled water on hand to provide safe drinking water for your family.<\/li>\n<li>If disinfection is the only option, there are four safe ways to do it: boiling, distilling, chlorinating, or certified devices that can treat the water at the microbial level. The easiest and most accessible of these is boiling the water. After a minute of rapid boiling, the water will be safe to drink (unless you live at an altitude greater than 5,280 feet, then you will need to boil it for three minutes).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Operate Your Well Safely<\/h2>\n<p>After a flood has occurred, there is a high risk of contamination to your well water.
