All the recent rain and heavy flooding has state health officials warning residents who have wells.
Officials at the Florida Department of Health in Hillsborough County are alerting residents who have wells to double check them for any bacteria.
They say if any of the recent rains caused flood waters to pour into wells, that could cause a problem with contamination.
"If you're seeing that your water is a different color now, it tastes a little different, has a different smell to it, these are the keys that let you know that you need to do something with your well," said Steve Huard with the health department in Hillsborough County. "That you need to get it tested and that you may need to go through and disinfect it."
Rosetta Peacock has a well connected to her home.
She says she uses the water only for washing dishes and clothes and for cooking.
"Our landlord told us to make sure that we're turning it on, letting it run. If there was any discoloration, to let her know," Peacock said.
Contaminated water can cause gastrointestinal problems and can even be fatal in people with compromised immune systems.
