Well Filling and Sealing

Abandoned or unused wells pose a great threat to the safety and quality of groundwater drinking water supplies. An unused well provides a direct path for contaminants and pollutants to the underground aquifers that supply working wells.

It is important to know why your community has a municipal well filling and sealing ordinance and if you are a well owner, how to go about getting a well properly filled and sealed.
