Are You Purchasing New Property?

If you’re preparing to buy a property with irrigation wells and want to ensure they comply with District regulations, don’t hesitate to reach out to us!

You may request a courtesy inspection of the well(s) to ensure that all necessary safety equipment is present and in good condition. It’s important to check whether the flow meter is functioning properly and is the appropriate size for the well classification. Operating wells provide a clearer view of the equipment to confirm it is working correctly. This courtesy inspection will also help verify the status of the well(s); for instance, a well classified as active may actually be capped or plugged. We can examine each well and update the records, giving you a clear understanding of their condition before purchasing the property.

We can also offer copies of the original well permit and any reclassification documents, both of which can be found on our website’s Groundwater Interactive Map.

The District rules are available for review or can be printed out for your convenience.

For scheduling this service or if you have any compliance inquiries or questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out. You can contact Lewis Orthman at (806) 935-6401 Ext 203 or via email at lorthman@northplainsgcd.org.
