What is a Water Well Permit?

A water well permit is a validation document and legal requirement that allows the local government to regulate activities involving water wells – its design, construction, alteration or repair, and demolition – and protect the county’s ground reserves. Applicants must secure their water well permit with the county’s Department of Environmental Health Land and Water Quality Division.

 

The application will normally require general information about the project, including information about the applicant or well contractor and project details. The application fee will depend on the nature of the project; to know more, see the county’s scheduled fees. No work shall ensue without securing the proper permits prior to the project.
