Drinking Water Supply - Private
Do you need a water well for a new home you're building?
Does your existing well need to be replaced?
The construction, location, water quantity and quality are determined. The
requirements help assure protection of your drinking water. Permits are required.
Michigan's well construction code
is based on the public health principle that if a well is properly located, constructed of suitable materials, and pumping
equipment is correctly installed, the water system should provide a safe, reliable supply of water. Only a registered well
driller or property owner can drill a well. Regardless of who installs the water system, it must comply with all applicable
codes.
