private water well; household water well
Private (household) wells are wells that are not part of a public water supply. Private wells have fewer than 15 connections and serve fewer than 25 people (see Public Wells below). They are usually wells that serve a single home or farmhouse.
Example sentence:
There are three types of private drinking water wells: dug, driven, and drilled.
Non-profit organizations must use the grants to make loans to individual homeowners to construct or upgrade household water well systems.
