In an effort to assist home owners that have been affected by the Hurricane Matthew, the NCGWA is offering a rebate program to home owners impacted through the storm.
A home owner of an occupied residence in need for well chlorination or disinfecting will be able to apply for a $100 rebate and $2500 has been allocated by the NCGWA for this program.
Once work has been completed, the homeowner will submit a paid invoice from a certified well contractor to the NCGWA office for processing of the rebate. Only one rebate per residence allowed. Rebate check will be forwarded to the homeowner once work has been completed.
“Bacterial contamination is to be expected in a flooded well, so disinfection of the well system after it has been pumped out and cleaned will be necessary, said Cliff Treyens, NGWA director of general public outreach. “NGWA recommends that water well system professionals be used to assess and service the well.”
Well owners can search for a certified well contractor through the NCGWA www.ncgwa.org or http://www.wellcontractors.nc.gov/web/eh/find-contractor For more information, call the NC Ground Water Association- 919-876-0687
