A permit may be granted to a well owner to operate a well if the following requirements are met. Application shall be made on forms provided by the Village Clerk-Treasurer.
The well and pump installation meet the requirements of Chapter NR 812, Wisconsin Administrative Code, and a well constructor's report is on file with the Department of Natural Resources, or certification of the acceptability of the well has been granted by the Private Water Supply Section of the Department of Natural Resources.
Wells to be abandoned shall be filled according to the procedures outlined in Chapter NR 812, Wisconsin Administrative Code. The pump and piping must be removed and the well checked for obstruction prior to plugging. Any obstruction or liner must be removed.
A well abandonment report must be submitted by the well owner to the Department of Natural Resources on forms provided by that agency (available at the office of the Village Clerk-Treasurer).
