Well and Water Service for Howell and Livingston County
Outside the City of Howell, many homes in Howell, Genoa, Oceola, Marion and Cohoctah townships still rely on private wells. More than half of Livingston County homes are on a well. Newer subdivisions and older farmhouses alike have a pump, a pressure tank and usually some treatment equipment working together.
Maglothin Well & Water Treatment is a family-owned well and water company based in Ortonville, serving Howell and the rest of Oakland, Livingston, and southern Genesee counties. We repair and replace well pumps, replace pressure tanks, find the cause of low pressure, and test and treat well water.
Well & Water Services in Howell
Well pump repair & replacement
We test first, so you know whether it’s the pump, the wiring, the control box or a part up at the house before anything gets replaced.
Pressure tank replacement
Waterlogged, rusted or undersized tank? We install a properly sized tank so your pump isn’t short-cycling.
No water / low pressure
We troubleshoot pressure switches, controls, tanks and pumps to find the cause, not just the symptom.
Water testing
For peace of mind, a new baby, or a home sale. We collect the sample and explain the results.
Water treatment
Softeners, iron filters, sulfur treatment and reverse osmosis sized to what’s actually in your water.
New well drilling & replacement wells
When an old well can’t be saved, we handle the new well along with the pump, tank and hookup.

Buying or Selling a Howell-Area Home on a Well?
Home sales are where a lot of Howell well questions come up. Buyers want to know the pump, pressure tank and water quality are in good shape, and many lenders, including FHA and VA loan programs, ask for a well water test before closing. Getting the well checked early keeps surprises out of the last week of the deal.
We check pump performance, the pressure switch and the tank, and collect a water sample for lab testing for bacteria, nitrates and other common concerns. You get the findings in plain language and, if anything needs work, upfront pricing. See water testing.
Pressure Tanks and Treatment in Howell-Area Homes
In larger newer homes, a tank that was sized for the original build may struggle once a family adds bathrooms, irrigation or a water treatment system that backwashes. The result is short-cycling and a pump that wears out early.
We check the air charge, the pressure switch and the tank size, and install a properly sized tank when needed. If hardness, iron or a sulfur smell is part of the picture, we test the water and set up treatment that fits.

Howell Well Pump & Water FAQ
How long does a pressure tank last?
