Well Drilling, Water Filters & RO Systems

Licensed well drillers, pumps, softeners, whole-house filtration, and RO.

Almost every property in Montura is on a private well. Picking the right driller and the right equipment up front saves thousands later. Always use a Florida-licensed well contractor — and pull the SFWMD permit.

Local Drillers & Equipment

Local Drillers & Equipment

See our Local Businesses → Well Drilling & Water Equipment page for licensed local drillers, pump installers, and filtration companies.

Equipment to Plan For

Equipment to Plan For

Submersible pump, pressure tank, sediment filter, water softener (our water is hard), and often an iron/sulfur filter. Get water tested AFTER install and annually.

Whole-House Filtration

Whole-House Filtration

Iron, sulfur, and hardness are common in our aquifer. A typical setup is sediment pre-filter → softener → carbon/iron filter. Size to your household flow rate.

Reverse Osmosis (RO)

Reverse Osmosis (RO)

Under-sink RO systems give bottled-water quality at the tap and are common in Montura. Whole-house RO is possible but expensive — most homes pair an RO at the kitchen sink with a whole-house softener and iron filter.

USDA FARM Number — Unlock Federal Benefits

If you own or lease agricultural land in Montura, applying for a USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA) farm number is the first step to crop insurance, disaster assistance, conservation cost-shares (like EQIP and CRP), and farm loans. There is no fee. Visit the Hendry/Glades County USDA Service Center in person — bring photo ID, proof of land ownership (deed or tax bill) or a written lease, your farm's physical address, and entity documents if the property is in an LLC or trust. Tenants need the landowner to sign Form CCC-902. The number is usually active within a few business days. Keep tract records updated with FSA whenever you sell land, sign a new lease, or change use, and watch for annual acreage certification and program enrollment windows.
