From a very young age, John Lemme grew up next door to his grandfather's well business. He began working for the family business in 1987 and continually learned from his grandfather. He decided after 30 years in the family business, to open his own well and water service company, J Lemme Well and Water Systems. He is by far, the most sought after well/water diagnosis expert, in Rhode Island. We offer well water pump and tank install, filtration systems, well drilling and so much more. No water? 24/7 service phone, please call 401-385-3330.

"I cannot put into words how thankful I am to have hired Delfino (Robert & Ariana) to level a section of my yard and add a gravel pad for a shed being built. They are super responsive, friendly, and more than fair. Saying I have a complicated yard is an understatement. I’ve had ridiculous quotes in the past and some who have told me what I needed was impossible. Delfino proved them wrong….and for much less money! They even surprised me with doing some work on my (also impossible) driveway at no extra cost because they had enough extra in materials. If you’re looking for kindness, fairness, and honesty..do yourself a favor and hire this incredible family business. You’ll be so thankful you did!! Thank you so much Robert & Ariana Delfino ❤️"

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

The disadvantages of having a well include more maintenance, like annual testing and inspections, and high up-front costs to drill a well. Well water is also vulnerable to contamination, which is why keeping up with testing is important if you own a well. When it comes to well water versus city water, well water does offer more independence and is a reliable water source.

The average three to four-bedroom home uses a well pump of 8 to 12 GPM. It’s recommended to calculate your own GPM based on the number of water fixtures in your home so you can find the pump size that’s most accurate to your needs.

Cisterns can be used as septic tanks, but septic tanks can’t be used as cisterns. This is because cisterns need to meet FDA standards for drinking water, but septic tanks aren’t required to meet those standards since they are only used for wastewater.

While mound septic systems can provide cost-effective wastewater treatment in many instances, they do come at a significant initial installation cost and require a lot of space on your property for the mound and its replacement field. The installation cost is so high because this is a project that requires an exceptional level of skills and expertise to execute properly.

With regular servicing, a well pump usually lasts between eight and 15 years. Variables include level of usage, frequency of servicing, and pump quality. You may also be able to hire a local well pump repair service to fix your pump rather than replace it. 

However, often the cost to fix significant problems is as much as or greater than replacing the damaged pump with a new one.
