Well Service for Hillsborough Properties
Hillsborough has its own public water system, but being near town does not automatically mean a property is connected to it. The Town’s water service area extends beyond the town limits, while some properties outside established utility connections rely on private wells instead.
Private wells are common across Orange County. The county estimates that about 40% of its population relies on groundwater for drinking water, and Orange County oversees permitting, inspections, repairs, abandonment, and testing for private wells.
If your Hillsborough-area property has its own well, A&T Well and Pump can help with pump problems, changing pressure, water quality concerns, and other issues throughout the system.

Signs Your Well System Needs Service
A well system will often give you a warning before the water stops completely. Pressure may start changing, the pump may run differently, or something about the water itself may seem off.
You may notice things like:
- No water from faucets
- Low or changing water pressure
- A pump that runs continuously
- Frequent pump cycling
- Sputtering faucets
- Sand or sediment in the water
- Discolored or cloudy water
- Changes in taste or odor
- Unusual noises from the pump or pressure tank
The pump itself is only one possible cause. Pressure tanks, controls, electrical components, piping, and conditions inside the well can all affect how the system performs.

Hillsborough Well & Pump FAQs
Do you provide 24/7 emergency well pump repair in Hillsborough?
A&T Well and Pump provides 24/7 emergency well service throughout the Hillsborough area for no-water calls, pump failures, sudden pressure loss, and other urgent private-well problems.
Does Hillsborough have public water?
Yes. The Town of Hillsborough operates its own public water and sewer system. The Town’s utility service area extends beyond the town limits, but public water is not available to every property in the broader Hillsborough area.
Where does Hillsborough's public drinking water come from?
Hillsborough’s public drinking water comes from the Eno River. Raw water is withdrawn at Lake Ben Johnston, with Lake Orange and the West Fork Eno Reservoir providing upstream storage for the system.
Are private wells common around Hillsborough?
Yes. Private wells are common across Orange County. The county estimates that about 40% of its population relies on groundwater for drinking water. Whether a particular Hillsborough-area property uses a private well depends on its location and available utility connections.
Who handles private-well permits in Orange County?
Orange County Environmental Health oversees private-well permitting and inspections. A permit is required before drilling a new well or repairing an existing private well.
Can Orange County test my private well water?
Yes. Orange County Environmental Health provides water testing for private drinking-water wells. Property owners can apply through Environmental Health to have their well water tested.
Why did my well water pressure suddenly drop?
Low or changing pressure can involve the pump, pressure tank, pressure switch, piping, electrical components, or another part of the well system. A&T can inspect the full setup and help narrow down the source before recommending repairs or replacement.
Can my existing well pump be repaired instead of replaced?
In many cases, yes. Whether repair or replacement makes more sense depends on what failed, the condition of the equipment, and how the rest of the well system is performing. We diagnose the problem first and recommend the next step based on what we find.
