Oregon Landowner’s Water Well Permit Bond - $5,000

 

What is the Oregon Landowner’s Water Well Permit Bond?

In the State of Oregon, landowners planning to install, change, or abandon water wells in their grounds are required to secure their Water Well Permit prior the beginning of the project. Applicants must obtain their license with the Oregon Water Resources Department (OWRD) and pay a $500 fee.

 

Accordingly, one pre-licensing requirement is the Oregon Landowner’s Water Well Permit Bond which is in compliance with the provisions of the Water Well Owner's Handbook drafted by the Oregon Health Authority.

 

Why do you need an Oregon Landowner’s Water Well Permit Bond?

The State of Oregon, by virtue of the ORS 537.505 or the Groundwater Act of 1955, mandates landowners, who wish to conduct their own well construction, alteration, or even abandonment without the help of licensed professionals, to secure a Water Well Permit Bond prior any well construction.

 

The bond is a guarantee that owners will have the necessary equipment to complete the project without posing hazards to the public and that all necessary construction or alteration standards and applicable groundwater law are followed.

 

Apart from the mandatory legal compliance, securing your own licensing bond also ensures:

  • Your credibility is boosted in terms of financial security
  • You are able to use your full line of credit
  • The confidentiality of your activities (unless requested by legal authorities)
  • Your access to professional advice counseling from lawyers, estimators, and similar professionals
