Wells Program

If you suspect your well is having issues, or going dry, visit our Dry Wells page.

To construct or destroy a well, you must first contact a Registered Well Driller to prepare your application for submittal.

Wells include:

• Drinking water wells – These include individual domestic wells, industrial wells, community wells, and horizontal wells.
• Agriculture wells – These wells are used for agriculture purposes only and not for drinking. In order to convert an agriculture well to a drinking water well, submit a Well Evaluation Application for approval
• Monitoring wells – These wells are advanced in groundwater to monitor subsurface conditions. Most monitoring wells are usually associated with a cleanup. Learn more by visiting the Monitoring Wells page.
• Cathodic wells – These wells are used for cathodic protection of utility lines.
  To obtain a permit, submit a Monitoring Well Application for approval.
