Can an old well be repaired or should it be replaced?

Many old wells can be rehabilitated through cleaning, acidizing, and casing repair. However, wells with severely deteriorated casings (which must be properly sealed and abandoned under 77 Ill. Adm. Code 920), chronic contamination issues, or insufficient yield may need to be replaced. A state-licensed well driller can evaluate whether repair or replacement is more cost-effective.
