Water wells that produce less than 17.5 gpm do not require a permit from HPWD. However, these wells may be registered with HPWD, which has several advantages:
Your well site is protected by a minimum of 100 yards from newly permitted water wells.
A record of your water well helps establish a relationship with HPWD. We can provide services for your benefit, such as water level measurements, flow tests, and basic water quality screening.
How much does Domestic/exempt well registration cost?
If you are registering your own domestic/exempt well (anything under 17.5 gpm) please contact our office at 806.762.0181.Domestic/Exempt well registration is free until Sept. 11, 2024.
