Before the rig arrives

  1. Confirm parcel allows a private well (vs required public water connection).
  2. Select a licensed well contractor; obtain owner authorization as required.
  3. File permit with Local health department (PDF/email/mail — WellMap prepares the packet; lawful submitter files).

After drilling: Water Well Record via Wellogic within 30 days → Local health department

WellMap prepares estimate-backed quote packets and dual-party approvals. It does not issue permits and never auto-submits to government systems. The licensed driller (and/or owner where required by law) is the submitter of record. Verified 2026-07-14.
