What to Do Before, During and After a Flood
After floodwater has gone down, find out how to safely return to your home or business, test your water and clean up after a flood.
If you are on a private well or spring, assume your water is contaminated if floodwater has reached your well or spring. Do not use it for drinking until you have it tested and know it's safe.
Free drinking water test kits available for flood impacted wells and springs. Order your test kit online.
If you can't order online, call 802-338-4724 or 800-660-9997 (toll-free in Vermont) or contact your local health office.
