If you are a groundwater user in Pumpkin Creek Basin, contact the NRD to get certified. Appointments are encouraged. Call the NRD office at 436-7111 or stop in at 1054 Rundell Road, Gering. Landowners in the North Platte Valley can get financial help to develop or improve habitat for wildlife by participating in a new program sponsored by the North Platte Natural Resources District and the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission. If there's an unused, abandoned well on your property, don't delay in getting it sealed and filled.
Open wells are a threat to health and safety.
What's more, you could get reimbursed for up to 75 percent of the cost of decommissioning the abandoned well.
