In 1992 the Department began the
Well Permit Program, which licenses, inspects, and
approves the construction of water wells in the
county. The Division's Well Permit Program
follows the standards of Act 368 as amended and the
Safe Drinking Water Act. Reviewed are site
selection, isolation from contamination, and
construction technique. Final inspection of the
well construction includes sampling to determine water
quality. |
