Drinking Water Source Protection Program
New Community Well Sitings
Community water systems that plan to bring new
wells on line must first obtain approval from the
Department of Environmental Services. DES has
adopted rules that specify the site selection
criteria and the procedures to be followed. The
purpose of the rules is to help ensure that water
of acceptable quality and adequate quantity will be
provided. Community water systems and their
contractors need to be familiar with these
procedures in order to avoid potentially expensive
mistakes, such as siting a new well near a known
source of contamination or performing the wrong
type of pumping test.
For more information about the requirements, refer
to the rules and publications listed below, or
contact the staff of the New Community Well Siting
Program.
