How would you know if your water pump in a 1997 ford contour was bad?

The 2.5L Duratec V6 in the 1995 to 1997 Ford Contour was known to have a water pump that typically failed at approximately 60,000 miles. The plastic impeller would fail after time under the normal engine temperatures and pressures. Fortunately, though, the engine designers put the water pump at the front of the engine bay, making it easy to replace.
If you are having overheating problems, it's a pretty good chance the pump impeller has failed to some degree.
