About the District

Well Registration

Reporting Usage and Production Fees

Permitting Requirements

 All new water wells must be registered with the District and obtain a Notice to Proceed before drilling and operation. Leachate wells, monitoring wells, piezometers, and Pre-Effective Date Exempt Wells (including domestic, livestock, or wells with a capacity of less than 27.7 GPM) drilled before April 1, 2012, are not required to be registered with the District. However, the District encourages the registration of exempt wells, as unregistered wells are not protected under the District's Rules from potential impacts caused by new wells.
