The Kansas Department of Health and Environment administers laws regulating construction, reconstruction, and plugging of wells. The regulations provide instructions for all types of wells and aquifer conditions. This publication describes the easiest plugging procedure for the most-common well and aquifer conditions. If well or aquifer conditions are unknown or different from those described, landowners should contact KDHE for the proper plugging procedures. Landowners may plug wells on their property by following these procedures.
Landowners also can hire a licensed water well contractor to plug a well.
