    Welcome to the Florida Well Owner Network

    The Florida Well Owner Network (FWON) is an Extension program and collaborative effort in the state of Florida aimed at providing education, resources, and support to private well owners. Private well owners in Florida rely on groundwater as their primary source of drinking water. FWON was established to address the unique needs and challenges that these well owners face. 

    The goal of the Florida Well Owner Network is:

    • To educate residents about well water quality and quantity as well as best practices to ensure well maintenance and groundwater protection.
    • To facilitate access to well water testing and provide information about treatment options if problems are found.
    • To foster community engagement by connecting well users with resources and local experts.
    • To complement efforts by partner agencies to increase awareness among Floridians about best practices regarding wells, septic systems, and drinking water quality.
