💧 **DO YOU KNOW?**💧
What does “licensed” really mean when it comes to your well water?
When hiring someone to work on your well or home water system, you may hear words like licensed, certified, trained, or experienced — but they do not always mean the same thing.
In Florida, a licensed Water Well Contractor (WWC) must meet experience requirements, pass required examinations, and maintain continuing education. Within their licensed scope, Water Well Contractors may construct, repair, and properly abandon wells, as well as install and service pumps, tanks, and certain water-conditioning equipment.
What many homeowners may not realize is that Florida does not have a separate statewide Pump Installer license or a general Water Treatment Technician license comparable to the Water Well Contractor license.
However, respected organizations such as the National Ground Water Association (NGWA) and Water Quality Association (WQA) offer professional certifications that demonstrate additional training and knowledge.
So before someone works on the water your family depends on, it is always reasonable to ask:
🔹 Are you licensed?
🔹 Do you hold professional certifications?
🔹 What training and experience do you have?
