Well Construction Permitting

After the Site Evaluation, the next step in the process is the application for a water system construction permit. Once a complete application has been submitted, approved, and the appropriate fees paid, construction of the system can start. Final inspection of well construction is performed on at least 10% of all wells permitted.
