Purpose of the "Owners Notice of Constructed Well" <br />It is necessary that your well permit remains valid to allow you and <br />future owners of the property to withdraw ground water from the well for <br />use and to have the well worked on by licensed contractors. First and <br />foremost in maintaining your well permit valid and in good standing is the <br />submittal of the Well Construction and Test Report and the Pump <br />Installation and Test Report (work reports) that licensed contractors (or <br />you, if you constructed the well as a "private driller" or installed the pump as <br />a "private pump installer") are required to submit to the Division of Water <br />Resources. Without the submittal of a work report to show that the well was <br />constructed in conformance with the Water Well Construction Rules and <br />that it is in compliance with the conditions of approval of the well permit, <br />the permit will expire on the expiration date indicated on the permit. <br />Reinstatement of your permit after it has expired or obtaining a new <br />permit for your well may require that you show that the well was constructed <br />by a licensed water well construction contractor (or private driller) and that <br />it meets the required standards of the Water Well Construction Rules. It is <br />much easier and efficient to maintain the valid status of your original well <br />permit than it is to try to have it reinstated after it has expired or to obtain a <br />new permit for the existing structure. <br />Because it is not always easy to confirm that the required reports have <br />been submitted to DWR, this "Owner's Notice of Constructed Well" is <br />provided for your use. Do not give the notice to your contractor to submit. <br />The notice is to be completed by you and mailed or faxed to the Division of <br />Water Resources so that the Division is advised that your well has been <br />constructed. If the required work reports are not then filed within a <br />reasonable period of time, the Board of Examiners can initiate its procedures <br />for obtaining the reports and thereby assist you in keeping your well permit <br />valid.
