The Private Well Program can provide technical support concerning well construction and well remediation. Should a situation arise during installation or completion of a well that has not been encountered, either the drillers or inspectors can describe the situation and solutions will be researched. If compliance with the construction regulations is not possible, staff can issue a variance as long as it is equally protective to the aquifer. This staff person is also available to provide expertise should disagreements concerning well construction arise and should questions arise concerning enforcement cases.
