Some people may ask, should I get well permit? Getting a well permit is up to you. But remember when you get well permit you do lose water rights and personal land rights. When you get well permit ,the first thing you do is sign their user agreement. When you sign someone's user agreement ( contract) you agree to all their rules and regulations. Remember they sometimes have clauses that also say they may change the rules and regulations later and you agree to those also ,even though they had been enacted yet. Also remember if they could take away your water rights without your signature they would not ask for it. I do not encourage anyone to break the law, but please know your rights and do not sign them away without first studying what your rights are. The the funny thing about a water well permit is the whole idea of having one is supposedly for your safety. And they tell everyone is against the law to drill a 200 foot pool water well without a license in some areas. But did you know you can drill a 15,000 feet oil well drilling through hundreds of water formations, and no license is needed. This is what are called the golden rule. He with all the golden rules.
This is not new, adding water meters on private water Wells on private land. This is just a new way to tax what was already yours. It is done under the statement they say it's for your safety. Or is for the children's so they can have clean drinking water. I don't understand how higher taxes eagles cleaner water most people believe it is equals more Donut king's on the payroll . In most places if you're in the county or enroll country areas this is not a problem, but the closer you get to large cities the more you'll have this problem. This is one some people buy small do it yourself drilling rigs and drilled water Wells in the woods in their basements and remote locations it can be seen by satellite. The problem with a water meter or water permits is you do not control your water, they do. Also remember permits are not forever they can be revoked expire or suspended. If they decide to suspend your water permit your well is not allowed to be used by law. Please get involved in your local government to voice your concerns over your water rights and their well permits so that not only you beat your children also can have free water rights. If you're in highly regulated states such as Colorado or California or the extreme northeast you can expect to pay 30 to 50,000 dollars per well. Some places in California water Wells or $100 per foot. So every time the driller puts on another 10 foot drill stem you owe him 1000 more dollars. Also in places in California a well permit is $8000 ,this is before you even start drilling. If you get a dry hole, then you have to pay a license driller to drop the whole back, by another $8000 permit and start over. This may be one some people in California prefer a bootleg well with no permit. A bootleg well is a well that someone drills, and that the government has no idea where the well is or where it is located and has not yet attached the water meters to charge you for your own water. What 30 years ago was called, you drilling your own water well on your land for your family, to day could be called a bootleg well if it is not permitted, and has government GPS coordinates attached to it. Once the government charges you for permits, and you sign their user agreement giving them more rights and you less to your water, they will attach a water meter to charge you for your own water, then you will have with is called a legal well.
