Flooded Well? ADPH Says Assume It Is Contaminated
If flood water covered your wellhead, ADPH says treat the well as contaminated. What that means, the order of steps, and who does which part.

UV-C chamber that destroys 99.99% of bacteria and viruses without chemicals.
Ultraviolet disinfection is a physics answer to a biology problem. Water flows past a UV-C lamp inside a stainless chamber, and the light dose disrupts the DNA of bacteria and viruses so they cannot reproduce — no chemicals added, no taste changed, nothing to flush afterward.
Chlorine drops can sanitize a well, but they work only as long as someone keeps dosing, and they leave the water tasting like the treatment. A properly sized UV chamber disinfects continuously, sized to the home's flow rate, with no chemical to dose and nothing added to the water.
On Baldwin County wells, UV is the standing answer to a positive coliform result — and the retrofit we install most after wellheads flood in a storm. Same-day response during business hours when a test comes back positive; the free in-home visit confirms flow rate and plumbing before we quote.
Mandatory after a positive well coliform; #1 post-hurricane retrofit when wellheads flood.

These city guides identify the serving water system and local source context. Booking still begins with the exact address and an on-site test; a city name alone does not determine the equipment.

Total coliform and E. coli are not the same finding and do not carry the same urgency. Knowing which one you have changes what happens next.

NSF's UV standard assumes iron below 0.3 mg/L. Local groundwater exceeds that at 70 to 76% of sampled sites. That is the whole problem in one line.
