A water pump is a mechanical device; it will always work as long as the belt is on it. When a water pump is bad on a car it will always have either a bearing ( noise) problem or seal ( leakage) problem. If your water pump does not have these problems then it is OK. If you have overheating problems, change your engine thermostat first and try that.Also it may need new coolant or the system flushed.
