Unused wells
have 3 options in
Minnesota:
1.
You permit it for future use. This requires a fee to the
state and paperwork.
2.
You make it fully operational.
3.
You have it sealed by a licensed water well contractor
(That's Us!)
Where is the well?
Many wells
are located inside homes and additionally in the garage or
outbuildings. Older sites can have many different types of wells
depending on the age. Finding
a well on a remodeled property can be tricky.
They can be found in
basements, well room offset areas, crawlspaces, closets, utility
rooms, stairwells, outside pits, small outdoor buildings, under
driveways, basement floors, patios, sidewalks and of course out
in the yard just to name a few.
Here are
some pictures of different types of wells we come across:
A Question we get frequently:
" I don't want to seal my well, it's old and I haven't used it
for a long time. Can you make it work?
Sometimes.
It depends on the age of the well, it's size and type and how
long it has sat unused. It is difficult to tell the condition of
a well when only a foot or two sticks above the surface.
