5. Shut off electric supply to well and close all valves and pour another gallon of bleach directly into the well. Recap the well or replace the vent pipe or plug. Turn on electric. Leave all valves closed for at least 48 hours or longer (toilets may be flushed if needed).
6. Open the hose spigot and discharge water to ground surface or drainage ditch until chlorine odor disappears. Open every house hold fixture and let water run until the chlorine odor is gone. To be positive that chlorine has been removed from all the plumbing you may want to use the same chlorine test strips as above to check the water.
"DO NOT RUN OFF THE CHLORINE INTO A SEPTIC TANK AS IT MAY DAMAGE YOUR SEWAGE SYSTEM"
7. The well should now be properly disinfected. Request the Logan County Health District to collect a sample of your water before using it. Please call (937)592-9040 to schedule a water sample.
For more assurance that your disinfection has been effective you may want to wait 2 weeks or more and have your water rechecked.
