How many homes around Tifton run on a well?

A lot of them. The U.S. Geological Survey counted about 11,500 people in Tift County, 28.7% of the county, supplying their own water in 2010, and more than half the people in Worth, Irwin and Berrien counties next door. Most of those wells reach down through sand and clay into the Floridan limestone, the same rock that supplies Tifton's city wells and the farm irrigation around them.

What goes wrong with wells in Tift County?

• Lightning and power surges. Georgia averages 45 to 55 thunderstorm days a year, according to the National Weather Service. A surge can knock out the pressure switch, the control box or the pump motor while the rest of the house seems fine.
• Low water in dry spells. Water levels in the limestone move with rainfall and with pumping, and irrigation is the biggest use of water in the county. Late summer and droughts like spring 2026 are when wells start to sputter.
• Iron, sulfur and sand. Georgia's geologic survey found local cases of excess iron in this area's wells. Iron, rotten-egg sulfur water and sand clog filters, corrode fittings and wear pumps faster.
• A pressure tank that has lost its air. If the pump clicks on and off every few seconds while a tap runs, the tank is the first suspect. Left alone, it wears out the pump.
• A pump at the end of its life. It runs without building pressure, hums, or trips the breaker. The switch and control box get tested before anyone pulls it.

A quick way to tell where the trouble is: if the gauge by the pressure tank reads low, the problem is on the well side (the pump, the pipe in the well, the pressure switch or the tank). If the gauge reads normal but the faucets are weak, look at the house side: filters, a softener or old pipes.
