Private Drinking Water Well Application Instructions

All information on the Application and Site Plan must be completed before the application is processed. Incomplete applications and site plans will be returned to the applicant and the service will be postponed until completed. The information requested on the application is required by state regulations and is necessary to design the private drinking water well system.

An Environmental Health Specialist will be available, if requested, between the hours of 8:00 am – 9:00 am to answer any questions you have regarding the application and site plan. If you are unsure of your plans, you should bring your application to the MTW District Health Department in your county for the Environmental Health Specialist to review. Applications are processed in the order they are received with payment. The property boundary corners and home should be clearly marked (flagged) and the lot sufficiently cleared in order for the Environmental Health Specialist to perform the evaluation. Insufficiently marked or cleared lots will cause a delay in processing your application and will require an additional return visit fee. Our goal is to process your application in a timely manner. Providing us with a complete application and site plan will help us process your request in an appropriate manner.

If you have questions or comments regarding the application, please call one of our Environmental Health Specialist at:
