Rural well arsenic outside city

Rural Talent wells affected by the September 2020 Almeda Fire deserve special bacterial scrutiny. Damaged wellheads, contaminated surface runoff, and lost well-head integrity are all plausible after a major fire event. OHA's wildfire well testing program covered total coliform alongside BTEX, arsenic, and lead (OHA — Wildfire-Impacted Well Testing).

For any well that tested positive for total coliform — including wells sampled once in 2020 or 2021 and not re-tested — the standard answer is shock chlorination plus permanent NSF/ANSI 55 Class A UV disinfection plus a confirmation re-test.

FAQ

UV disinfection in Talent — questions.

How much does uv disinfection cost in Talent?
Pricing in Talent starts with our free on-site water test. The local profile we look for here: Post-Almeda Fire residual VOCs; Chlorine and DBPs. Every quote is sized to your actual chemistry — never a catalog package — so we don't write a number until we've tested your tap or well.
Is uv disinfection the right call for a Talent home?
Post-Almeda Fire VOC concern stacked on top of standard Medford Water DBPs. Bacteria and viruses inactivated without chlorine, at the well. A free on-site test confirms which contaminants apply at your specific address — and which solution stack actually moves the numbers — before we quote anything.
